Arena (1975)

Blondes (3): Anita Ekberg (1999x12)

Date de diffusion: Déc 27, 1999

Perhaps best remembered as the shapely blonde who waded into the Trevi Fountain in 'La Dolce Vita', fifties sex symbol Anita Ekberg became a Hollywood icon and a cult figure in European cinema. This portrait, which concludes Arena's documentary trilogy about blonde screen sirens, tracks down the reclusive Swede in Italy and traces the path of a career that began to take off when she won a Miss Sweden beauty contest. Ekberg talks candidly about growing old, surviving personal disappointment, and the pressure that comes with being recognised as one of the world's most beautiful women.
