Anita Ekber: empowered "slut"

So clearly I'm on a bit of a feminist tangent here, after the "slutwalk" last week and watching a wonderful movie the other day called "Miss Representation" which every lady (and man) should see, in my opinion.   Anyways,
... Anita Ekber is by far my favorite pin-up icon.  This headstong scandalous lady made a career (and an impressive one at that!) of being a sex symbol.
She is best known for her wild publicity stunts: my personal favorite was when she pre-arranged a photographer to record her dress "accidentally" bursting open in the lobby of a London hotel.
When Anita got her first contract with Universal Studios, she was asked by Howard Hughes to change her "teeth, nose and name".  Anita did none of these things and still went on to be one of the most iconic screen personages of the decade and cult sex symbols of all time.
