Cognac's Corner - Television, New York Style
Talk Show Host, TV Personality Cognac Wellerlane interviews Hollywood Movie star Legend Gina Lollobrigida at the Launching of Black Tie International Magazine. The cocktail reception was held at the K Lounge on November 9, 2005 honoring Mrs. John McLean The Crystal Ball Committee & Honored Guest which included Movie star Gina Lollobrigida who is on the cover of the most recent issue of Black Tie. The talented and beautiful Movie star Legend Ms. Gina Lollobrigida is quoted by the editor, Joyce Brooks of Black Tie International Magazine as being "Talented, Tenacious and Tough". Ms. Lollobrigida started her show business career quite by accident. A very bored and reluctant Gina was standing outside of Rome's Academy of Fine Arts when she accepted background work as extra in the Movie "Black Eagle". After discovering Gina, Film Director Mario de Costa offered her a leading role in one of his movies. Gina refused, deCosta insisted. Gina decided to ask for an outrageous sum of money thinking he would decline her proposal and quite to her surprise he accepted and the rest is history. Gina of course became one of the great film stars of the 20th century.
Gina is fluent in both English and Italian which established her as in international star. Ms. Lollobrigida has worked with many fine actors throughout her forty years in show business. Some of her leading men were David Niven, Anthony Quinn, Frank Sinatra, Sean Connery, Rock Hudson and countless others. She has also been privileged to be directed by many famous directors such as Vittorio de Sica, Christian - Jaque, John Huston, Rene Clair, Jean Delanncy, Carol Reed and others. She is best known for her character "Esmeralda" in the "Hunch Back of Notre Dame" but some of her other films include, Trapeze, Buonasera Mrs. Campbell, Bread Love and Dreams, Never So Few, Solomon and Sheba, of course the list goes on. At the event, Celebrity Psychic John Cohan predicted that Gina will have a Broadway Run here in New York and her name will be associated with a cosmetic or healthcare product.
