Anita Ekberg photographed in her devil Halloween costume, 1955. The costume was for the Art Students League Dream Ball at the Hotel Commodore in New York.
Anita Ekberg (1931–2015) was a Swedish actress and model who became an international star in the 1950s. She is best known for her role in Federico Fellini’s iconic film La Dolce Vita (1960), where she famously wades into the Trevi Fountain in Rome, a scene that became a symbol of cinematic and cultural glamour. In the 1950s, Ekberg’s career was rising, and she worked with several major studios in Hollywood.
During this decade, her beauty and statuesque figure made her a popular pin-up model, and she appeared in films such as Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953) and Blood Alley (1955), alongside stars like John Wayne and Lauren Bacall. Ekberg’s career was defined by her image as a glamorous European beauty, and she was often typecast in roles that capitalized on her allure.
She also had a background in modeling, which helped her gain attention in Hollywood, including winning the Miss Sweden contest in 1950. Her image in the 1950s was associated with the golden age of cinema, and she remains an enduring icon of that era.
