“Gracing the shore of the Grand Lac (Grand Lake) in Paris’ Bois de Boulogne is voluptuous Anita Ekberg, soaking up some end-of-summer sun. She was in the French capital to make Paris Holiday – a United Artists film starring Bob Hope. In the movie the Swedish beauty plays a seductive Mata Hari-type mystery woman. She’s just the gal who can do it! (1957)”
