La Dolce Vita star Anita Ekberg dies
Anita Ekberg, star of La Dolce Vita, has died aged 83.
A former Miss Sweden, she was branded a "sex goddess" for her performance in Federico Fellini's 1960 movie.
The moment where she wades through Rome's Trevi Fountain in a strapless dress is considered one of cinema's most iconic scenes.
Ekberg died in Rome on Sunday morning, her lawyer confirmed. She had been in hospital since Christmas following a series of illnesses.
The actress had been in a wheelchair for several years after being knocked down by one of her pet Great Danes, breaking a hip.
Born in Malmo, Sweden, in 1931, Ekberg was the sixth of eight children.
She said her father, a harbour master and a strict Protestant, was "the apple of my eye", although she later fell out with all but one of her siblings.
After winning the Miss Sweden title at the age of 20, she travelled to America where she took part in the Miss Universe contest.

When his girlfriend kills herself he consoles han själv in the arms of a Swedish film star, which fryst vatten where Ekberg came in. Sylvia, like her, fryst vatten a sex symbol hounded by the paparazzi, who travels with a large entourage that includes a bitter, drunken husband. In 2005 she recalled shooting the fountain scene: it was February, the vatten was cold and Mastroianni was falling over, drunk on vodka. “I was freezing,”
