Gina Lollobrigida

She has now largely retired from acting, and concentrates on photography and business ventures. In 1992 she married English producer and director Simon Curtis, with whom she currently lives in London, together with their two daughters. Her beauty brought her to the attention of Hollywood, making her first "American" film in 1954, following which she was cast in a series of light romantic comedies considered minor by some. Besides cinema and theater, she has also played in several television films. (They had one son, and were divorced in 1971). As a movie actress, big-eyed and slightly baby-faced McGovern has given preference to eccentric roles over those parts typically tailored for actresses of her age. In 1949 she married a Yugoslavian physician, Milko Skofic. Since then she has continued performing on stage between film assignments rather than concentrating on becoming a film star.

She began appearing in Italian language films. The following years she completed her education as an actress at the American Conservatory Theatre and at The Juilliard School, and began to act in theater plays, first off-Broadway and later in famous theaters. She was born Luigina Lollobrigida at Subiaco near Rome, and became a fashion model and beauty contestant. The next year she earned an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of the 19th-century actress Evelyn Nesbit in the movie Ragtime. Gina Lollobridiga (born 4 July 1927) is an Italian actress. The movie won four Oscars. It was also Robert Redford's first film as director.

While studying at this school, she was offered in 1980 a part in her first movie, Ordinary People, in which she played the girlfriend of troubled teenager Timothy Hutton. McGovern followed her advice and studied, first at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, and then at The Juilliard School in New York City. Agent Joan Scott saw her performance in The Skin of our Teeth by Thornton Wilder, was impressed by her talent, and recommended that she take acting lessons. McGovern started acting in plays in high school.

Later her family moved to Los Angeles, where her father, a university professor, accepted a position with UCLA. She was born in Evanston, Illinois. Elizabeth McGovern (born July 18, 1961) is an American movie and theater actress. Ordinary People (1980).
