In constant search for the next big scandal, he is continually seduced by the decadent life led by Rome's pampered rich."It was a moment that marked a turning point in postwar Europe: Anita Ekberg wading through the Fontana di Trevi in Federico Fellini's film La Dolce Vita, as improbably voluptuous as the fountain itself. La Dolce Vita was shot in 1960, and while Ekberg's low-cut, dark evening dress may look back to the formal 50s, her insouciant transgression points unmistakably ahead, into the subversive 60s.<br>> <br>> What few cinema-goers realized was that the scene in the film was a reconstruction of a real event. Two years earlier, Ekberg had spent the evening with a set photographer, Pierluigi Praturlon, at the Rancho Grande nightclub in Rome. To ease her aching feet on the way home, she climbed into the fountain. Praturlon, who never went anywhere without his Leica, lit up the scene with the headlights of his car and caught the moment in a photograph that Fellini later saw in a magazine, Tempo Illustrato."<br>> <br>> "When the film was presented in New York, the distributor reproduced the fountain scene on a billboard as high as a skyscraper. My name was in the middle in huge letters, Fellini's was at the bottom, very tiny. Now the name of Fellini has become very great, mine very little." (Anita Ekberg)<br>> <br>> "It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around". (Anita Ekberg)<br>> On 12 December 1994, Dutch TROS television broadcasted this interview with Anita Ekberg, who became world famous when she baded in the Trevi foundation in Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita"actually filmed in March, when nights were still cold(According to Federico Fellini (in an interview with Costanzo Costantini), Anita Ekberg stood in the cold water in her dress for hours ). The interview is made by Ivo Niehe for his television show De TV-show (Dutch or English spoken, Dutch subtitles).<br>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfEvUdUqB6U <br>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4A89BYhjA0 <br>><br>
