  • La Dolce Vita Actress Anita Ekberg Dies at 83
    La Dolce Vita actress Anita Ekberg dies at 83 Posted by TBN_Staff On 01/12/2015 (29 September 1931 – 11 January 2015) Kerstin Anita Marianne Ekberg was a Swedish actress, model, and sex symbol, active primarily in Italy. She is best known for her role as Sylvia in the Federico Fellini film La Dolce Vita (1960), which features a scene of her cavorting in Rome's Trevi Fountain alongside Marcello Mastroianni. Both of Ekberg's marriages were to actors. She was wed to Anthony Steel from 1956 until their divorce in 1959 and to Rik Van Nutter from 1963 until their divorce in 1975. In one interview, she said she wished she had a child, but stated the opposite on another occasion. Ekberg was often outspoken in interviews, e.g., naming famous people she couldn’t bear. She was also frequently quoted as saying that it was Fellini who owed his success to her, not the other way around: "They would like to keep up the story that Fellini made me famous, Fellini discovered me", she said in a 1999 interview with The New York Times. Ekberg did not live in Sweden after the early 1950s and rarely visited the country. However, she welcomed Swedish journalists into her house outside Rome and in 2005 appeared on the popular radio program Sommar, and talked about her life. She stated in an interview that she would not move back to Sweden before her death since she would be buried there. On 19 July 2009, she was admitted to the San Giovanni Hospital in Rome after falling ill in her home in Genzano according to a medical official in the hospital's neurosurgery department.

  • Community Engagement and Educational Outreach
    Community Engagement and Educational Outreach In November 1977, 20,000 women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to come together at the fi rst National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. Their aim was to end dis- crimination against women and promote their equal rights. Present were two former fi rst ladies–Lady Bird Johnson and Betty Ford—and the current fi rst lady, Rosalyn Carter. Also present were grandmothers and lesbians, Republicans and Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, and Native Ameri- can women—and the most infl uential leaders of the burgeoning women’s movement—Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Barbara Jordan and others. SISTERS OF ’77 provides a fascinating look at that pivotal weekend and how it changed American life and the lives of the women who attended. Using the fi lm as a focus piece, ITVS’s Community Connections Project (CCP), community engagement and educational outreach campaign, reaches out to: • Organizations that invest in building young women leaders • University and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies • Organizations that promote women’s equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights • Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights Independent Television Service (ITVS) 501 York Street San Francisco, CA 94110 phone 415.356.8383 email [email protected] web www.itvs.org The goals

During the fall term we shall examine how a dozen or so writers wrote within the studio system before it collapsed in the late 1950s, including a sustained look at the work of Preston Sturges.

  • Probablemente El Diablo: El Terror Elíptico De La Séptima Víctima
    PROBABLEMENTE EL DIABLO: EL TERROR ELÍPTICO DE LA SÉPTIMA VÍCTIMA Francisco García Gómez Universidad de Málaga RESUMEN La séptima víctima, la primera película dirigida por Mark Robson, constituye un magnífico ejemplo de la concepción del terror que tenía el productor Val Lewton. Su cuarto filme para la RKO, el primero no dirigido por Jacques Tourneur, pone de manifiesto que Lewton era el auténtico responsable de su ciclo fantástico. PALABRAS CLAVE: RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, serie B, terror, satanismo, paladismo. ABSTRACT «Probably the Devil: The Elliptical Terror in The Seventh Victim». The Seventh Victim, first film directed by Mark Robson, is a magnificent example of the producer Val Lewton’s terror concept. His fourth RKO film, the first without Jacques Tourneur, reveals that Lewton was the genuine responsible of his fantastic cycle. KEY WORDS : RKO, Val Lewton, Mark Robson, B Film, terror, satanism, paladism. 163 Una película a redescubrir y reivindicar, ése es el caso de La séptima víctima (The Seventh Victim, 1943), la cuarta del ciclo de nueve cintas de terror de serie B producidas por Val Lewton en la RKO entre 1942 y 19461. Dirigida por Mark Robson en su debut como realizador, fue además la primera cuya dirección no corrió a cargo de Jacques Tourneur, tras La mujer pantera (Cat People, 1942), Yo anduve con un zombi (I Walked with a Zombie, 1943) y El hombre leopardo (The Leopard Man, 1943). Precisamente a consecuencia de los grandes éxitos de público obtenidos con estas tres, el estudio decidió separar al tándem Lewton-Tourneur, convencido de que rendirían el doble por separado, poniendo en seguida al francés al frente de mayores presupuestos.
