Sophia Lauren Shows She's Still Sexy at 71

Earlier this week, I posted on the Century Project, an effort to show real women exactly as they are throughout the lifespan.

Well, at 71 years of age, Sophia Lauren is no ordinary woman, but she is archetypal evidence that beauty is not a function of age. The Sun (UK) ran a small piece about Lauren posing this year for the annual Pirelli calendar alongside younger femme fatales Penelope Cruz and Naomi Watts.

SCREEN legend Sophia Loren shows she still has what it takes to make men go weak at the knees – as she poses for the Pirelli calender at the ripe old age of 71.

The Italian stunner flashes her luscious curves alongside younger beauties including film stars Penelope Cruz and Naomi Watts in next year’s edition of the famous calendar.

Sophia, who won an Oscar in 1960 movie La Ciociara, was recently voted the world’s most naturally beautiful person.

Once again she beat off competition from younger lovelies, including Catherine Zeta Jones, Cameron Diaz and Charlotte Church.
