Sophia Loren, the 89-year-old Oscar-winning actress, is continuing to make significant strides in her recovery nearly six weeks after a fall at her home resulted in multiple fractures, including her femur and hip. Loren underwent emergency surgery following the incident.
Her manager, Carlo Gusti, exclusively informed PEOPLE that "everything is going very well" as the iconic actress heals from the injuries. The accident occurred in the bathroom of Loren's home in Geneva, Switzerland, on September 24. Gusti had previously stated that the actress would require "at least a few months of rehabilitation" following the surgery.
Loren's two sons, Carlo Ponti Jr. and Edoardo Ponti, were present by their mother's side during her recovery in Switzerland.
Despite the setback, Loren seemed to be in high spirits just weeks before the accident. On September 2, she attended the Armani fashion show during the 80th Venice International Film Festival, appearing "very lively" and enjoying the event, according to witnesses.
The news of Loren's fall was initially shared on the Instagram page for her restaurant chain, where it was mentioned that she had undergone successful surgery and would undergo a period of recovery and rehabilitation.
Loren, who celebrated her 89th birthday on September 20, is renowned for her illustrious acting career, with her most recent role in the 2020 drama The Life Ahead, directed by her son Edoardo.
Throughout the years, the beloved actress has been open in various interviews about the aging process, demonstrating resilience and grace in facing life's challenges. The ongoing positive progress in her recovery brings hope and well-wishes for her continued well-being.
