It's the most famous side eye ever caught on camera: Sophia Loren, seated next to a beaming Jayne Mansfield, sneers at the blonde bombshell's breasts as they spill out of her gown. Now, 57 years after that iconic photograph was taken at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Loren reveals exactly what happened at the 1957 cocktail party. "I'm staring at her nipples because I am afraid they are about to come onto my plate," the 80-year-old film icon explained to Entertainment Weekly. "In my face you can see the fear. I'm so frightened that everything in her dress is going to blow—BOOM!—and spill all over the table." We're sure Loren's memoir, released tomorrow, is chock-full of more fascinating anecdotes from Hollywood's golden era.
