Rare Vintage Photos of Iconic Women of the 1960s

Anita Ekberg became a 1960s cinematic legend the moment she stepped into the Trevi Fountain in La Dolce Vita. That scene alone made her immortal—statuesque, blonde, and unapologetically sensual. She starred in European and Hollywood films, embodying excess, beauty, and the glamorous chaos of the era.

Her life matched the drama of her image. Born in Sweden, Anita clashed with studios, tabloids, and expectations. She had high-profile romances, a fiery temper, and a love-hate relationship with fame. Independent and defiant, she refused to be tamed, even as the spotlight slowly moved on.
