One of the most renowned actresses of classic Hollywood film, Sophia Loren was regarded as a sex icon around the world during the height of her fame.

She is no longer as young as she once was, though, at the age of 89.

Alarming reports claim that the Italian actress, who is most known for her work in the movies Yesterday,

Today, and Tomorrow (1963) and Two Women (1961), fell at home in Switzerland last month and needed treatment for several injuries.

According to reports, Loren broke numerous bones during the fall, the most serious of which was a fracture to her femur that necessitated surgery.

Injury to Sophia Loren
According to reports, Loren was scheduled to inaugurate her restaurant on September 26 in Bari, Italy, only days after turning 89.

The Italian icon, however, slipped in her restroom and sustained the aforementioned wounds. The Hollywood Reporter claims that Carlo and Edoardo, Loren’s sons, visited her in the hospital.

After having surgery on her femur, a source told the Hollywood Reporter at the time of Loren’s injury that there was ‘cautious optimism’ about her prognosis going ahead.

The staff of the restaurant Loren, which was about to open, posted on Instagram that Ms. Loren had suffered hip fractures as a result of a fall at her Geneva home today.

‘After a successful operation, she will now need to go through a brief time of recovery and continue a path to rehabilitation.

Fortunately, things turned out for the best, and the Lady will rejoin us shortly. The entire staff of Sophia Loren Restaurant would like to wish her a fast recovery at this time.

Sad news,
Her agent Andrea Giusti reported that she was making a good recovery after suffering major fractures to her hip and femur.

A longtime personal friend of Loren has told Radar Online that the actress is not doing well, so perhaps

things are not as bright as they seem. Her pal said, ‘She’s literally on her last legs,’ to the media source.

Given that hip fractures are among the most frequent injuries from falls in older persons, according to medical professionals,

it is not surprising that the injuries Loren received during her fall are linked to worse outcomes because of her age.

Since then, the actress has been told by her agent that she ‘will now have to observe a short period of recovery and follow a road to rehabilitation.’

After the unexpected fall, Loren herself gave her admirers an update on her health and promised that she would soon return to normal.

She remarked, ‘I thank everyone for the closeness and love they have been offering me. I only need to complete my therapy and take some time off, but I’m better.
