Will Jewels and Casino cry for you?

When all her jewels were stolen in London, actress Sophia Loren, stunned and heartbroken, sat down on the bed and glanced at her wardrobe.

Next to her was Vittorio De Sica — the legendary Italian director and a towering figure in world cinema. He leaned toward her and said:

“Donna Sophia, don’t waste your tears. We are two Neapolitans, born in poverty. Money comes and goes. Think of how much I lose at the casino…”

She looked at him, bewildered.

“What are you saying, Vitto? You don’t understand. Those jewels were a part of me…”

Vittorio smiled gently and replied:

“Sophia, listen to me — never cry for something that can’t cry for you.”
