“This is something I don’t like to live with — sad memories,” Sophia Loren told LIFE.com. “Life gets very hard when you lose someone so important to you, and you don’t need to be surrounded by the memories all the time, which are so strong and hit you in the most unexpected moments.” Pictured: Sophia Loren with her husband, Carlo Ponti, on a boating trip off of Naples, 1961.
