Gina Lollobrigida, a sprightly 85 and one of our favourites on here (ever since I saw her Esmerelda in THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME when I was a mere child) is selling some of her jewels, for charity.
Gina in various interviews stated that she bought her own jewels and now wants to pass them on to others, to do good. Those emeralds look sensational ..... the auction is today, in Geneva ... Right: Gina with Dali, see Gina label for that great photo of her with Marilyn in 1955.
Other movies we like Gina in: WOMAN OF STRAW, THE LAW, GO NAKED IN THE WORLD, IMPERIAL VENUS, MARE MATTO, SOLOMON & SHEBA, FANFAN LA TULIP, BREAD LOVE & DREAMS, COME SEPTEMBER, BUONA SERA MRS CAMPBELL, KING QUEEN KNAVE, TRAPEZE, BEAT THE DEVIL.
PS: Gina's jewels raised $3.2 million, including £1.50 million for a pair of pearl drop earrings.

I wish we could see the live auction somewhere...oh well. I love Gina!
ReplyDeleteShe has always been fabulous. Somehow I can't see Sophia selling her jewels for charity - she's taking them with her!
