In 1955, international recognition began to arrive. The well-known US magazine Life dedicated a cover to her and, in the same year, she became the most photographed actress at the Cannes Film Festival in France. In the 1960s, Loren achieved international success, making a splash in Hollywood and becoming the symbol of Italian beauty in the world. In those years she worked alongside actors such as Cary Grant – with whom she admitted to having had a flirtation – William Holden, John Wayne, Paul Newman, Frank Sinatra and with established American directors, including Charlie Chaplin.
