'I’m an actress first and last. I want to be known for my talent and not as a beautiful body. I try to look plain, but...I just can’t hide my figure.'Who was Anita Ekberg, the iconic figure from La Dolce Vita - really? Behind the dazzling spotlight and fame lies the story of a woman who refused to be shaped by Hollywood, the press, or anyone’s expectations.
