Anita Ekberg and Frank Sinatra at Romanoff’s restaurant, 1955
“I remember when I first met Sinatra. It was down at Palm Springs, Jimmy Van Heusen’s house. We were introduced. Frank was charming. He can be the sweetest, kindest, most considerate gentleman in the world. Also the brightest. But he is no Romeo. No Don Juan. I don’t know how he got that reputation.
To be a great lover a person must give himself completely. You cannot hold back. You cannot date a new person every night and call that love. It is a sign of unsureness, insecurity.”- Anita Ekberg, Modern Screen magazine, December 1955
