Anita Ekberg was a major international star now chiefly remembered for her half-hour appearance in La dolce vita. She was a Swedish film star who worked extensively in the USA, Italy and elsewhere in Europe but never in Sweden. She was seen as a curvaceous blonde in the Marilyn Monroe mould whose roles and style were nothing like Monroe's. She was celebrated or looked down on for her fabulous looks but never appreciated for her performance. This collection looks at all these facets of Ekberg's career, examining the nature of her star image and discussing her skills as actress and celebrity. It considers the perception of her body in different national contexts and genres and as she aged, the significance of casting, directors, dress and performance and the role of the press, class, ethnicity and her own agency in the production of this fascinating personality.

La prima cosa che si nota leggendo questo libro e il distacco, netto, definitivo, dai libri precedentemente pubblicati. Un distacco principalmente linguistico (l'autore fa un ampio uso del vernacolo romanesco, a differenza degli altri libri, vernacolo tra l'altro adottivo e non nativo), ma anche tematico. Il tema principale non e piu l'amore (come avveniva nel primo libro) o la vita/non vita (tema predominante del secondo). In questo libro i due temi si fondono alla perfezione, riuscendo comunque a mantenere la loro autonomia, tramite un percorso di conoscenza di se e dell'altro fatto di dolorose scoperte e di inalienabili verita che portera l'autore ad effettuare anche delle scelte dolorose, ma razionalmente giuste creando all'interno di se un dissidio, un'agitazione, questa si difficilmente cancellabile.
Anita Page (1910-2008) first captured attention near the end of the silent film era in such classics as While the City Sleeps (1928) with Lon Chaney, The Flying Fleet (1929) with Ramon Novarro, and her own favorite, Our Dancing Daughters (1928) with Joan Crawford. In a relatively short career, Page enjoyed critical acclaim. She appeared in the first full-sound movie to win Best Picture, The Broadway Melody (1929). With a foreword by her close friend, actor Randal Malone, this reference work is the first to fully detail Page's remarkable career, including a biography and a complete listing of all her films, along with her one stage appearance and her returns to the limelight in later years. Entries provide complete production information, reviews and behind-the-scenes commentary. Dozens of photos and revealing anecdotes complete a portrait of a fascinating yet underappreciated performer.
"Anita's Revolution" is a work of historical fiction, a book for all ages. The setting for the story is Cuba, 1961. One quarter of Cuba's six million people are illiterate; one million adults and half a million school-age children. Cuba's new government, led by Fidel Castro, is determined to give these illiterate people and the country a different future. But how? A national literacy campaign is planned and Cuban youth of all ages are called upon to volunteer as literacy teachers prepared to go wherever needed to live with or near the learners for months on end. The protagonist Anita, a 14-year-old girl, is one of the more than 100,000 young people who volunteer. Many, including Anita, endure primitive conditions, great challenges, and even dangers while on their assignments. Although thousands of adults were also literacy volunteers, young people were the core and heart of the campaign. On December 22, 1961 Cuba raised a flag in Havana's gigantic civic square proclaiming Cuba: Territory Free From Illiteracy. Due to the dedication and enthusiasm of those youth, illiteracy was almost abolished. The country was transformed. Anita's Revolution honours the potential of youth, and champions the importance of education and knowledge.
