In 1947, Gina entered the Miss Italy pageant and came in 3rd place. In 1949 she married a Yugoslavian physician, Milko Skofic. (They had one son, and were divorced in 1971). Her beauty brought her to the attention of Hollywood, making her first American film, Beat the Devil, in 1953.

As her popularity increased, Lollobrigida earned the nickname "The World's Most Beautiful Woman" after her signature 1955 movie. In 1966 Gina had an affair with comedian Jerry Lewis.
