No attempts yet.
I will try not make it too easy.
He is director, producer, block buster film maker. He has also done under sea exploration.
Two of his films are the first and third highest box office earners of all time. That might give the biggest hint.

Neither Kirk, nor Laurence I'm afraid. He did around a hundred movies, but was never on the same level as those two.

You have her Sheba, over to you for a pic.
Kerstin Anita Marianne Ekberg[1] (Swedish pronunciation: [anîta êkbærj](listen); 29 September 1931 11 January 2015) was a Swedish actress active in American and European films, known for her beauty and stunning figure. She became prominent in her iconic role as Sylvia in the Federico Fellini film La Dolce Vita (1960).[2] Ekberg worked primarily in Italy, where she became a permanent resident in 1964.
Early life
Anita Ekberg was born on 29 September 1931, in Malmö, Skåne (Sweden), the sixth of eight children. In her teens, Anita worked as a fashion model. Ekberg entered the Miss Malmö competition in 1950 at her mother's urging. This led to the Miss Sweden contest which she won. Despite speaking very little English, she went to the United States to compete for the 1951 Miss Universe title (an unofficial pageant at that time, the pageant became official in 1952).[2]
Career
Universal Studios
Although Ekberg did not win the Miss Universe pageant, as one of six finalists, she did earn a starlet's contract with Universal Studios.[4]
Ekberg skipped many of her drama lessons, restricting herself to riding horses in the Hollywood Hills. Ekberg later admitted she was spoiled by the studio system and played instead of pursuing bigger film roles.[4] Universal dropped her after six months.
