Sophia Loren, Stefano Maiandi

Giving up her wedding ring for art?s sake, film star Sophia Loren holds out her finger for Stefano Maiandi, right, to cut through the ring with pliers, on the set of ?The Prisoners of Altona? in Hamburg, Germany, May 8, 1962. An unidentified man is putting a wedge under the ring to prevent injury to Sophia during the separation. The ring, from Sophia?s husband, Carlo Ponti, had to go because it did not match one worn by the star?s film husband, Robert Wagner. (AP Photo)
