Anita Ekberg, Behind the Scenes of Artists and Models
Kerstin Anita Marianne Ekberg was born in Sweden on September 29, 1931. She’d go on to become known to movie fans as Anita Ekberg, a beautiful addition to many entertaining films from the 50s through the 90s.
The first movie I ever saw Anita in was Artists and Models and I thought she was one of the most beautiful actresses I’d ever seen. She struck me as a cross between Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe, with a pinch of Rita Hayworth thrown in to make things extra beautiful.
Anita passed away in 2015 at the age of 83.
