Interesting People - Sophia Loren - Podcast

Sophia Loren's first marriage, aged 22, to the recently deceased film producer Carlo Ponti, was a proxy marriage with lawyers taking their places.
(Seemingly Ponti was still married to his first wife and the Catholic Church would not let them divorce. They were married by proxy in Mexico, with lawyers taking their places. I thought it would be wonderful if someone found a mistake had been made and the two lawyers were actually married instead.)
