Ms Luigia "Gina" Lollobrigida OMRI (4 July 1927 – 16 January 2023)

Destined to be called "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World", Ms Lollobrigida was the daughter of a furniture manufacturer, and grew up in the pictorial mountain village. She studied sculpture at Rome’s Academy of Fine Arts, and started her career with minor Italian film roles before coming third in 1947’s Miss Italia pageant.

After refusing a contract with Howard Hughes to make three pictures in the United States in 1950, Ms Lollobrigida gained for starring turns in 1952’s “Fanfan la Tulipe” and 1953’s “Bread, Love and Dreams,” the latter of which netted her a BAFTA nomination for Best Foreign Actress.

Ms Lollobrigida’s first American film was “Beat the Devil,” a 1953 adventure comedy directed by John Huston that cast her opposite Humphrey Bogart. Over the course of the ’50s and ’60s, she starred in numerous French, Italian and European-shot American productions, with highlights including “Trapeze” with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” as Esmerelda, “Solomon and Sheba” with Yul Brynner, “Never So Flew” with Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen, “Come September” with Rock Hudson, and “Woman of Straw” with Sean Connery, and “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell,” with Shelley Winters.

Her roles made her a major sex symbol of Italian cinema; in 1953, she won Italy’s David di Donatello award for Best Actress for her performance in the opera star Lina Cavalieri’s biopic “Beautiful But Dangerous,” known in Italian as “The World’s Most Beautiful Woman.”

She later won two more David di Donatello Award for “Imperial Venus” and “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell,” a Golden Medal of the City of Rome in 1986, a 40th Anniversary David in 1996 and a 50th Anniversary David in 2006. In 1961, she won the Golden Globes’ Henrietta Award for “World Fan Favorite,” and received nominations for “Falcon Crest” and “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell.”

After the ’60s, Lollobrigida’s career began to slow down, but she continued to act intermittently, including in the 1995 Agnes Varda film “Les cent et une nuits de Simon Cinéma,” and in ’80s TV shows such as CBS’ “Falcon Crest” and ABC’s “The Love Boat.”

Ms Lollobrigida also developed a successful second career in photojournalism during the ’80s. She obtained an exclusive interview with Cuban leader Fidel Castro and also photographed many famous film stars, as well as publishing a number of books of her photographs.

In 2011 she made her final film appearance, playing herself in a cameo for the Italian parody film “Box Office 3D: The Filmest of Films.”

The screen legend sale of some of her 23 jewels from her Bulgari collection at Sotheby’s in 2013 to help fund an international hospital for stem-cell research.

On 16 October 1999, Lollobrigida was nominated as a Goodwill Ambassador of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization

Ms Lollobrigida won the Berlinale Camera at the Berlin Film Festival in 1986, Karlovy Vary Film Festival special prize in 1995, and the Rome Festival’s career prize in 2008. In 2018, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

101 Nights [Les cent et une nuits de Simon Cinéma] (1995)

In a period rife with odes to Hollywood or to cinema which are fair to middling at absolute best, it was a daunting proposition to sit through this movie. I should have known to trust Agnès Varda. Produced for the centenary of filmmaking, Varda crafts an effervescent love-letter to the medium, creating a collage of movement as only she can manage. Cinema encompasses every aspect of the frame, and the sheer variety of manifestations of the artform subsumes all. You can try to keep tabs on all of the films referenced, but sooner or later it becomes all too daunting of a task. Cardboard standees of icons dot M Cinéma’s villa. Stars drop by to pay their respects. Film posters comment cheekily on the nature of a scene, even changing from shot to shot. Verbal puns and visual one pop up at unexpected and delightful intervals: Simon urges for more cries and fewer whispers; Camille has her bicycle nicked by thieves, and her boyfriend bemoans Italian neorealism. It’s comprehensive and loving, lacking the creative bankruptcy seen in everything from Cinema Paradiso to The Fabelmans.

Perhaps the most overt references were the film extracts dropped throughout the runtime. Sometimes the parallels to the narrative arc were obvious, others more oblique. Of all the clips, I caught Nosferatu, King Kong, Citizen Kane, 8 1/2, Un chien andalou (the full eye cut), Danton, My Own Private Idaho, Metropolis, Paris Texas, The Young Girls of Rochefort, Singin’ in the Rain, The Producers, Night of the Living Dead, L’Age d’or, White Christmas, and The General. But the interests skewed much broader in film posters, everything from Back to the Future to Au hasard Balthazar to Eraserhead getting its nod.

But who is this manifestation of cinema itself? Simon Cinéma is an old frail man, but that doesn’t stop his lusty streak. It’s perhaps slightly less endearing in the #MeToo era, but Varda allows all of her female subjects to rebuff his advances and scoff at his outrageous claims. Haunted constantly by death, he nevertheless remains alive. Cinema isn’t dying, it’s constantly reinventing itself, adopting new forms. He is accompanied by a roguish Italian friend, played by a delightful Marcello Mastroianni who both reminisces on and spoofs his great films with Fellini and others. But really he has an ulterior motive: to possess the Cinéma estate. Simon’s will becomes an important through-line, and an even more important question: to whom does cinema belong? Should Simon’s legacy be handed to the knowing hands of a studio, or sold off for a cause to pad the ego of a star? Do young filmmakers have to steal it for themselves, scrape together what they can to break into an industry not handing out charity? Varda emphasizes the importance of new voices, focusing on some up-and-comers as they home-brew a goofy gangster flick inspired by the likes of Scorsese and Coppola. They may have to use toy airplanes and cotton-ball clouds, but they got the very spirit of cinema to make a guest appearance and pass out at the sight of some tits. Now that’s what really counts.
