Anita Ekberg by David Preston, Modern Photography, April 1957
"A perfect glamour model should have a good head of hair. This necessary attribute may sound strange to you, but you'll discover that trying to make a girl with thin hair or a boyish bob look like a vision of Venus-like loveliness is almost impossible. Anita is one of the few movie queens to possess all three of the important ingredients that make star photogenic - great face, great body, good head of hair. Add to that a flawless complexion, a 40-inch bust, a beautiful smile encompassed in a 6-foot frame (with high heels), and you've got the formula that makes Ekberg one of Hollywood's most beautiful gals."
