The prolific career of this legendary star spans over five decades earning a remarkable array of notable accolades, including the first Academy Award presented for a foreign-language role with Two Women.

Decades later, in 1991, Sophia Loren received an Honorary Award from the Academy in acknowledgement of her indelible contributions to world cinema.

Until 1999, Sophia Loren was the only performer ever to win an Oscar for a foreign-language film. She received an honorary Oscar in 1980 for Lifetime Achievement.

Along with An Evening with Sophia Loren show, the Center will be hosting a free movie screening of Houseboat starring Cary Grant and Sophia Loren at 1:30pm and a post-show backstage reception immediately after the show for $35.
