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 of atomic-era Hollywood’s preeminent glamour queens. By the early sixties, Ekberg was triumphing in Europe, splashing in the Trevi fountain alongside Marcello Mastroianni in Federico Fellini’s visionary masterpieces La Dolce Vita (1960) and later Boccaccio ’70 (1962). (Fellini was perhaps the only director who knew how to properly 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). (I still haven’t seen the promising-sounding The French Sex Murders (1972)). 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 sacré later years. She clearly relished trashing her erstwhile rivals. (Asked about Sophia Loren, she replies, “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 the brunt of her diva’s wrath in 1999, he rechristened her “Anita Yecch-berg.” Still, you can’t help but love her – Anita Ekberg made the world a more glamorous place.
