Anita Ekberg RIP

Anita Ekberg, suedeza care a inebunit o lume intreaga (Miss Suedia la 20 de ani si asa a ajuns in America pentru a participa la Miss Univers, si Universal Pictures a semnat imediat un contract cu ea, chit ca nu vorbea engleza :)!), si-a incheiat la Dolce Vita pe 11 ianuarie, intre tumultul mediatic parizian Charliehebo si glamourul Globurilor de Aur ! Avea 83 de ani ! Dar scena de la Fontana di Trevi va ramine datorita ei (si lui Fellini) una dintre cele mai iconice/erotice din istoria cinematografului.
iata ce zice si martin Scorsese despre asta, la moartea actritei : "It was her one great moment in movies, but it was legendary.”

Am dat La Dolce Vita la Cinemateca Patria , la Brasov, intr-o superba copie restaurata asta toamna si am revazut scena, superba, unica, minunata !
Acum il voi relua in luna februarie, pentru Anita !

si o scena memorabila din Intervista de Fellini (1987) in crea mMrcello Mastroianni si Anita Ekberg se intorc in "gli belli tempi del pasato" !
Iata ce spunea Bob Hope despre ea:
"Anita is a standout, even in Hollywood where beautiful girls is one of the leading crops. To put it mildly, Anita is a spectacular by herself. On the tour I introduced her by saying, 'Here's the greatest thing to come out of Sweden since smorgasbord! The GIs really went wild over her. Nature had certainly endowed her. When Anita walked on the stage, I'd say, 'Her parents got the Nobel prize for architecture'...

"It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around". (Anita Ekberg)
