Despite her incredible career littered with success, Gina Lollobrigida has only been invited to the Academy Awards once to present the Best Picture award. Fresh from the success of the romantic comedy Come September with Rock Hudsonit was she who opened the envelope and awarded Billy Wilder for Apartment. It was 1961, nothing more since then. Despite a Golden Globe, seven Donatello Davids, three Silver Ribbons, a BAFTA nomination, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Gina was never recalled by the Academy, and yesterday’s tribute was a well-deserved posthumous tribute, as and expected.
