Academy Award winning actress Sophia Loren celebrated her 84th birthday last week, and she still looks as radiant as ever!

Born in Rome on September 20th, 1934, Loren went on to become the first actress to win an Oscar for a foreign language performance in 1962. Her acting career spanned decades, and during that time, she appeared in a total of 94 films. To celebrate this icon’s birthday, we’ve compiled some photos from her life that shows how amazing she really is.

Here’s Loren in her early days. She was discovered while competing in beauty pageants in the 1950s!

Here’s Loren arriving in Rome with the legendary star John Wayne after he broke a leg in Africa while filming their movie “The Legend of the Lost.”

In this photo, Loren poses with director Charlie Chaplin as they announce their movie “A Countess From Hong Kong” in 1965.

Loren can be seen holding her first child, Carlo Jr., in 1959 as her husband Carlo Ponti looks on.

In this image, Loren is arriving at the Cannes Film Festival with Ponti in 1976.

This candid photo shows Loren sitting with her second son, Edoardo Ponti, on the set of her film “Qualcosa di Biondo.” Edoardo has since gone on to become a famous director in his own right.

Here, Loren is presenting at the 2009 Academy Awards with actress Shirley MacLaine.

Finally, this photo of Loren was taken earlier this month in the Netherlands. To this day, she is still a natural beauty!
