This extremely rare Sophia Loren item comes from Japan and appeared in magazines and promo pamphlets, but the actual photo was originally shot in Italy in 1970 by Tazio Secchiaroli for Vogue. Ironically, Loren is known today for wearing wigs, but not in a good way—the now eighty-one-year-old star usually sports big red hair in public but vicious internet snarks joke that it isn’t real. Perhaps not, but were any of her detractors ever this perfect? We doubt it. We think Loren should turn the jokes around and make her next appearance in one of the wigs above.
1935—Jury Finds Hauptmann Guilty
A jury in Flemington, New Jersey finds Bruno Hauptmann guilty of the 1932 kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the son of Charles Lindbergh. Hauptmann is sentenced to death and executed in 1936. For decades, his widow Anna, fights to have his named cleared, claiming that Hauptmann did not commit the crime, and was instead a victim of prosecutorial misconduct, but her claims are ultimately dismissed in 1984 after the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to address the case.
