Died on this day: voluptuous mid-20th century actress and pin-up Anita Ekberg (29 September 1931 - 11 January 2015). In the fifties, the statuesque Swedish sex goddess reigned alongside peers Mamie Van Doren, Jayne Mansfield and Diana Dors as one Hollywood’s preeminent glamour queens. By the early sixties, Ekberg was triumphing in Europe, cavorting in the Trevi fountain beside Marcello Mastroianni in Federico Fellini’s visionary masterpiece La Dolce Vita (1960). Fellini and Ekberg memorably reunited for Boccaccio ’70 (1962). (He was definitely the director who knew best how to utilize her charms). But as a connoisseur of cinematic perversity, I love Ekberg at her gloriously wooden best in the serial killer shocker Screaming Mimi (1958) and later bargain basement Eurotrash horror movies Fangs of the Living Dead (1969) and Killer Nun (1979). Even in these indignities, as author Sam Staggs puts it, Ekberg “can steal any scene just by standing still.” In 1999 the BBC made a documentary about Ekberg, capturing her craggy temperamental monstre sacrée later years. She relished trashing her contemporaries. (Asked about Sophia Loren: “Who is that?” On Brigitte Bardot: “she was pretty. You can’t say beautiful. She was – how you say? – very “Barbie.””). After gossip columnist extraordinaire Michael Musto experienced her diva’s wrath in 1999, he rechristened her “Anita Yecch-berg.” (From his 2007 book La Dolce Musto: “All I could hear was Ekberg yelling, “Why do they keep letting Sophia Loren into the country? She was in jail for a month for tax evasion!” Between courses, other arresting pronouncements came fast and furiously: “Frank Sinatra was not a good lover!”; “If there’s one thing I hate, it’s people chewing gum. It’s like cows out to pasture!”; and “Not being able to smokbe in restaurants is against the Constitution!”). Still, you can’t help but love her – Anita Ekberg made the world a more glamorous place.
