SOPHIA WINS ON EVERY POSSIBLE GROUNDS!!!
Much better and more versatile actress, longer career with far more good films, multilingual, sane (!), by all accounts a totally awesome human being. And IMHO more appealing to watch - Loren was the rare sort of actor it was possible to love in many ways. You could see yourself loving her as a friend, or a spouse or a lover, or even as a mother, because she was very maternal in some roles, you could love her as a young woman or an old one. Monroe may have radiated vulnerability in an appealing way, but Loren radiated warmth, and that's a quality that stays appealing from childhood to old age.
