Gina Lollobrigida

She has now largely retired from acting, and concentrates on photography and business ventures. She is interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. Although Gable remarried, he was buried next to her. 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. Its producers decided to cut part of the film in which her character asks, "What can happen in a plane?". (They had one son, and were divorced in 1971). Her final film, To Be or Not to Be, was in post-production at the time of her death. In 1949 she married a Yugoslavian physician, Milko Skofic. The Liberty ship SS Lombard was named for her, and Gable attended its launching on January 15, 1944.

She began appearing in Italian language films. Roosevelt, who admired her patriotism, declared her the first woman killed in the line of duty during the war and posthumously awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was born Luigina Lollobrigida at Subiaco near Rome, and became a fashion model and beauty contestant. Just before boarding the plane in Indiana, she addressed her fans, saying "Before I say goodbye to you all, come on and join me in a big cheer! V for Victory!" President Franklin D.
