Anita Ekberg interview for De TV-show - part 1

[Independent488]

Why are people angry that she got old? WTH people we all get old, GET OVER IT!

[blackmore4]

Ho ho... she'd really had no idea..."All of you are homosexual or impotent!"

I feel pretty sure that even a homosexual would be shocked at his heterosexual capacities if presented with Anita in her prime.

:)

[thomasades]

The Dutch have no manners. She rises above it

[Basinstreetfollies]

What really is Youth...a temporary tool to attract the opposite Sex. Women age differently,,The sun,drugs,booze,tobacco,stress and negative people can be a Age aggressor. The problem with American society there is so much infacious on staying 18-27 . Ladies ignore that nonsense that men Belch out loud. 30,40,50 is so SEXY..Real men appreciate a confident female..

[ellasaraharetha]

Anita was a natural beauty. She didn't have to change a thing. She looks just fine in this interview. Yes, she is older but still lovely. We all get old. No one escapes. In Hollywood, they all get face work done and they look worse. They look like they went to Dr. Frankenstein's Rodeo Drive office. Their faces look like masks.

[parfy1000]

Wat een vieze mond heeft die prachtige Anita.

Mastroianni is een van de beste acteurs van de wereld. Ook een van de beroemdste.

[cidedwards31a]

still beautiful

[Gem5771]

Well likewise here...Anita is still very striking, pretty lady. However I agree with others that mention the interview reporter was treading on thin ice carried onto Part 2 of this clip. He had her attention willing on her part until....You don't admire a portrait painting and make references to her youth leading in to "even then you're fat etc." That comment hit her and it was not well received by Anita. She then fires back at himself becoming old and fat. I thought she was almost teary eyes

[MisterChickyBee]

Wow... what a goddess and all natural! She is truly a beauty...

[deepenhancer]

Dutch along with danish is the most guttural and awful germanic language!!! 

[miltsar]

interviewer is an ass hole

[bikebeerrun1960]

Still attractive but with one glaring exception;A lifetime of smoking makes your voice like this .

[chanel591971]

Uau , tres belle femme....

[JPandCo]

She does not look so bad!! Considering her age (she's older than many women of the 1960s). An example of completely lost beauty is Brigitte Bardot (and she's even younger!) And she did not lose her style. Cheers!

[gulimochka]

Wow, Anita sounds so stupid and cocky, I didn't expect that. what a disappointment

[dougiewhite778]

i saw her at an awards show in sweden she seems to have forgotten how to speak her own language! she was interviewed in english and italian

[officialpickle]

you know. . . i dont know why people build marilyn monroe up so much.i bet had jayne mansfield or mamie van doren the would have been the top blonde in hollywood.but as for me i think anita had a moder look for her time.she and sophia where the only actress too wear there hair down long and curly,while all others had it pinned up.she was never really givin a big break.but was a very famous model.there is something about girls from europe that americans cant grasp!

[pizzelle4u]

marilyn monroe dressed half naked when meeting the queen. no class

[rjddurhamnc]

Look who's standing next to Anita as she meets the queen...........Joan Crawford....

[oentschi]

and do you all know who was the woman they all looked up to : RITA HAYWORTH !!!

Loren and Ekberg both said that Hayworth was a big inspiration for them esp. in Gilda. Hayworth was the one with the most class of them ALL !!!! Esp. Ekberg said " Hayworth" was the greatest

and its sure that her dance in the black dress at trevi was inspired by hayworth´s put the blame on mame !

[betokkikke]

I like Marilyn, I love Sophia but me have a very special respect to Anita Eckberg. Not only because of her supreme beauty and yes, charisma, but talent! Fellini knew it and did let her bath in Fontana di Trevi and made her a great milk poster image on Bocaccio70, Anita is a diva and deserves all my admiration on screen and as a woman. Cats must love her as well!

[siempremarisol]

i love bardot and anita and virna lisi and monica vitti

[ciccocenta]

the interviewer is very presumptuous, im surprised its shes allowing it. as for her comparing her to marilyn, sophia & bardot. Look, in Hollywood to be a BIG STAR you must have one thing: Charisma & some talent. you can be famous on beauty & well-known on sex appeal but to be a STAR you must have charisma & some talent. & this is the thing the other girls had that Anita did not! She was very beautiful & sexy but the talent was not there nor was the charisma.

[oentschi]

you idiots here : stop putting these women down, sophia was a real beauty so was anita, they were not fake compared to the shit-girls today, now they are old...and lifted..so what ? girls are lifted today with not even 30 years of age...that is horrible...

[siempremarisol]

sophia is an old transvestite , really ugly african drag queen

[jajamansan88]

It's funny how actresses in oldern days films had to be beautiful, just like in Hollywood today. And when they loose there looks because of age poeple makes fun of it. She must be around 80 years today. How many facelifts do people expect women to do?

[somerandomegirl]

she's still pretty!

[LGuinevere]

Tastes differ:). Grace Kelly and Catherine Deneuve were called "cold" too owing to their aura of mysterious beauty and talent.

I think Anita is a gorgeous woman and a talented actress as well.

[sadamitsu]

she wasnt the best actress, i would say it was her looks that were her greatest feature. she was not better than MM. MM is an icon of the silver screen and as soon as you say 50's star people today will say MM. personally i like the 40's

[siempremarisol]

she more beauitful than mm only B.B. was more beautiful than her

[MAREKGERHARDT]

She could never act her way out of a paper bag. They called her "ice" because she was so stiff and untalented. Marilyn and Bardot were GIANTS, Olivier's compared to her.

[Etnalleb]

She might not have been a great actress, but to call her '"ice" is utterly ridiculous... Anita could melt a glacier with her beauty , her figure put Marilyn in the Minor leagues, and she was smarter than MM , at least she could remember her lines and was on time, and she spoke better English than Bardot as well as out acted Bardot there-fore Anita was better than both of them. Anita Eckberg the most beautiful blond ever to grace the Silver Screen. Only a blind moron would put her down.

[MAREKGERHARDT]

I am a sighted person with three PhD's and I was not the one that called her ice. It was actually a comment by a reporter from years ago. Anita is not likable as was Marilyn. Marilyn was a drug addict but not less smart. Why always the namecalling? I never liked Bardot. I am a big Doris Day fan. I like Anita. Too bad you must attack me. Sophia Loren was much more talented and beautiful than Anita and a much bigger star.....

[Etnalleb]

If you read your 1st comment ,you dissed Anita pretty good saying "she could never act her way out of a paper bag". A person who likes her would not make a remark like that. I don't care how many PhD's you have you got your information from a disgruntled reporter who obviously had a grudge against her. I was a director's aide and saw in person how stupid MM really was and how she kept E1 waiting for hrs because of her insecurities. Anita was a Professional was always on time&never caused delays

[Etnalleb]

Anita Ekberg believe me turned just as many heads if not more than MM with her stunning beauty both from men and women. You never liked Bardot, yet you say she was a GIANT compared to Ekberg? Isn't that just a bit contradictory ? When a person disses an Actress with awesome beauty such as Ekberg had then expect people to diss you back, sorry you were offended but mull over your comment and do the research next time. BTW Loren is a Brunette not relevant here as we are talking blonds.

[MAREKGERHARDT]

That was not dissing, that was coddling. Just because you like someone does not mean you have to pretend they are perfect. I enjoy seeing Burt Lancaster for example too but he could not act either. Was MM insecure or stupid? I find that stupid people do not have the presence of mind nor the self- awareness to be insecure. Judy Garland was an insecure mess but nonetheless a genius talent. I am from Europe and she (Anita) was always called the ice queen there for her inability to emote.

[Etnalleb]

Coddling ? Are you saying you coddled Ms Eckberg with your comments ??? The word coddle means to Pamper and your comments about Eckberg were anything but . I seriously doubt you made it through High-School let alone earn a PH.D . You show appalling lack of any knowledge at all about acting by saying Burt Lancaster could not act as he was one of the Greatest Actors of all -time winning a Oscar for Best Actor and made scores of Oscar winning movies. Indeed it's futile debating a moron like you.

[MAREKGERHARDT]

My dear, we in my country are not allowed to skip high- school. My PhD's are in your language, German History and I am an M.D., a psychiatrist. How many people never received an Oskar when they should have and how many were wasted on people who deserved one. Where is Annette Bennings? You have deep- seated aggression and are venting on me. Now, now. Moron? How gauche of you. You remind me of a little puppet madly being jerked about on the strings of your own hangups. Lana Turner could not act...

[MAREKGERHARDT]

....and was a much greater star. Surely Italy's greatest export was Sophia Loren and she could act. Lollo was a sistant second who could not. Yay Eckberg!!!! What is with the horrid aggression and personal attacks on YouTube? She was a starlet with big "dagmar bumpers". She was no more than an Italian Jayne Mansfield. PEACE AND LOVE :-)

[vergoti20]

Sophia never was beautiful , Sophia was quite ugly , today she looks like and old african tranvestive.Anita was not a fine actress but Sophia was a lousy actress too, the difference is Anita was very beautiful woman

[marekerhardt]

Your opinion. Anita looks ugly now too. A swollen up, old woman with a raspy smokers voice. Clearly Sophia was the bigger star....by a mile!

[siempremarisol]

o please sophia was not bigger than anita ,la ekberg was really beautiful , its a movie with loren where she danced with marcello and some point i said to myself if she fell over him she is so fat she will kill him

[marekerhardt]

Are you still talking about Anita? I forgot all about her as has everyone else.

[vergoti20]

Elizabeth: Your taste is even worse than to strike to one's mother.Maria Callas was an horrible woman, she looked like a cartoon witch, exactly like that !

[marekerhardt]

I am as shallow as the Mariana trench in the Pacific.

[sareusepeus]

You are sooooo right on that. It is not that famous actresses automatically are beautiful. And Sofia Loren was indeed very very ugly.

[vergoti20]

Yes sareusepeus, Sophia NEVER was beautiful and today she looks like an old man in drags, Sophia looks grotesque

[siempremarisol]

i agree with you anita was after brigitte bardot the most beautiful blonde of the 20 century

[vergoti20]

thank you siempremarisol: Have you seen Sophia photos since around 2006, 2007 , 2008 and 2009 ? She looks terrible, she seems an old man with a grotesque wig

[siempremarisol]

I saw sophia in larry king few days ago she look horrible omg this loren should be in jail or in a home for elder people she look like a witch ugly woman

[gatabella3]

Great interview! Thank you!

[MarleneXtreme]

Wonderful vid !
