Her “indomitable career of beauty,” as Susan Sontag once famously deemed it, was characterized by portraits of her sinewy silhouette, immortalized most notoriously in that scene from Michelangelo Antonioni’s cult 1966 film Blow-Up where she poses for photographer David Hemming’s camera to amorous effect.
