Story 408
Sophia Loren - I was in an elevator on my way up to a dinner party at the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto, in th '70s, when the door opened, and in walked Sophia Loren. I had heard that she was in town promoting her new line of eyewear. I quickly, and politely, greeted her with 'Good evening, Mrs. Ponti'. Just as quickly, and just as politely, she acknowledged with a nod, and that famous smile. She exited before I arrived at my floor, and as she left, she spun a half-turn on the heel of her stiletto, looked at me, and said 'Good night'. I nodded in acknowledgement, and the doors shut. It was then that my knees went weak, and I gushed...'that was Sophia Loren, and she talked to me....to ME!!!' Several people applauded my performance, which brought a roar of laughter from others. I will never forget it!
