Prague Pictures: Portraits of a City
“Eva was a film actress of the 1950s, whose real name was, or is - for all I know she may still be vigorously alive, over there in Budapest, or Beverly Hills, and I hope she is - Eva Ivanova She was married four times, once to the actor Kurt Jiirgens but never once to me, and was said to have had numerous lovers, among them Frank Sinatra - who denied he was the father of her only child - and, somewhat startlingly, the Marquess of Milford Haven. In 1959 she published her autobiography, Worth Livi...ng For, which I am disloyal enough not to have read. Her films include The Crimson Pirate (1952), the interestingly titled Ten Thousand Bedrooms (1957), and the one in which I best remember her, Operation Amsterdam (1959), with Peter Finch. Eva's dark and soulful brand of beauty was very much the look of her time; to me, she was a rich man's Juliette Greco. In Operation Amsterdam I recall very black, shoulder-length hair and a thrillingly severe, straight fringe, a black polo-neck sweater tight enough across the bosom to make my adolescent gonads sizzle, and an equally tight skirt, of black leather - worthy of Marta, the Professor's wife - or so my fevered recollections insist.MoreLess
