The Swedish actress Anita Ekberg died on this day, January 11, in 2015 (b. 1931). Karsh wrote of their Sitting: “The smorgasbord was already lavishly spread on the table of Anita Ekberg’s California home when I arrived. Her natural behavior resembled the love goddesses she portrayed – uninhibited and seductive and totally without guile. When changing from one gown to another, she ignored the screen her attendant had placed before her.”
