ROME (NEWSnet/AP) — Film legend Sophia Loren is recovering from successful surgery for a leg fracture after she fell in her Switzerland home, an agent for the 89-year-old Italian actor said Monday.

Agent Andrea Giusti said in an email that Loren fell in a bathroom on Sunday and the surgery was performed later that day.

The actress broke both her hip and a thigh bone, the agent said.

It wasn't immediately clear when Loren would be discharged from the hospital.

Loren has lived in a Swiss villa near Lake Geneva for decades. Earlier this month, she appeared with Italian designer Giorgio Armani in Venice at a fashion show.

She celebrated her 89th birthday last week.
