The Former Miss Sweden (1950), Anita Ekberg, is seen here in a typical 'cheesecake' pose with a Poodle, to be used for promotional publicity shots. Her screen career was largely unremarkable until she was used by Fellini in his 1960 film La DolceVita, getting soaked in the Trevi Fountain in Rome.
Elizabeth Taylor, MGM, 1950 Throughout her life Elizabeth Taylor was devoted to her dogs, and is seen here attempting to bathe her Cocker Spaniel, Amy.
Barbara Stanwyck, RKO, 1936
