She was absolutely gorgeous back in the day. Have no clue whether she was a good actress mind - never got that far.

RIP

I always preferred her to Sophia Loren, simply because of her looks. I suspect Loren was a better actor. How shallow I was in my youth.

RIP.

Derek Ufton had a great story about dancing with her.

A stunner in her name, and the sort of name you never forget either. RIP

They didn't get on!

Her feud with Loren was coming on nicely. Egged on by her husband - the film producer Carlo Ponti - Loren had claimed she was "bustier" than Lollobrigida.

Gina hit back, saying Sophia could play peasants but never ladies. "We are as different as a fine racehorse and a goat," she said.

RIP Lollo
