A simple story about a grandmother whose idol is Sophia Loren. Now, in her autumn years, the grandmother keeps referring to Loren for guidance in her day to day problems. She tries to imagine what an obviously younger Sophia Loren would do. In this way, she is able to keep some of her youth in the fire. It would appear as if an older adult cannot come to the same conclusion as a very young Sophia Loren. Loren, to say the least, was an opportunist, who married much older and fatter Carlo Ponti. I am very sure there were several young men in Loren's life that were far better looking and had much better physiques. But that was not what she was looking for. She was looking for stardom, and found it under Ponti. I am not sure grandma would be doing the same thing.
