Redhead Italian Beauty: Glamorous Photos Of Scilla Gabel, the Sophia Loren’s Double

 Scilla Gabel is an Italian actress and television personality. The Blue-eyed redhead, with the perfect body measurements earned a role as Sophia Loren‘s body double in the movie “Boy on a Dolphin”. Gabel looked so much like Loren that she was quickly hired to work as Loren’s double again in “Legend of the Lost”. During that time, she also appeared in many Italian movies with small roles.

Although she appeared in 50 films, but failed to make significant progress in big screen as Loren’s despite their similarities. In the 1980s Gabel appeared in Italian television mini-series based on novels. Her uncanny resemblance to Loren and the stereotyped roles that she played destroyed her career.
