Anita Ekberg
Originally from Sweden, Anita Ekberg graced both American and European cinema during her illustrious career but primarily established herself in Italy, where she played a significant role in “La Dolce Vita.” Her beauty was apparent from a young age, leading her to work as a fashion model during her teenage years.
In 1950, she entered the Miss Malmö competition, subsequently winning the title of Miss Sweden. Her universal beauty transcended borders, leading her to compete for the Miss Universe title in 1951 despite her limited knowledge of English at the time.
