I KNOW Sir David takes exception to ANYTHING political here, but under the circumstances… he just might let “this one” slide:
Gina Lollobrigida is standing as the candidate for the Sovereign and Popular Italy Party in the city of Latina.
As to her aspirations:
“I was just tired of hearing politicians arguing with each other without ever getting to the point,” the film star told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview on Sunday.
“I will fight for the people to decide, from health to justice. Italy is in bad shape, I want to do something good and positive,” she added.”
“As long as there is energy, I use it for important things, especially for my country,” she added.
No doubt… our man Flynn would give her the nod!

In an interview on the Sunday Morning Series (with Jane Pauli), March 6, 2022 / 9:47 AM / CBS News
Samuel L. Jackson is a movie star, and he loves his job. “Movie sets are my playground. That’s my happy place,” he said.
“Sunday Morning” contributor Kelefa Sanneh asked, “Is acting easy for you?”
“Yeah,” he laughed. “Feels like it is. It’s fun for me.”
He has made more than 150 films, and is one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. He’s worked closely with Spike Lee and Quentin Tarantino, and he’s a familiar presence in the “Star Wars” and Marvel franchises…
“I think movies should be entertaining,” Jackson said. “You know, popcorn movies, I love popcorn movies! Turn your brain off. You don’t have to figure out the plot, you don’t have to worry about who did it, you know? He did it! Now let’s have some fun!”
He admired actors Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte. But he didn’t want to be them.
“I wanted to be Errol Flynn if I was gonna be somebody,” he laughed. “I wanted to be up there sword-fighting and swashbuckling across the screen!”
