Did she just hate Hollywood?

Wasn't she a child model/actor? Nuff said.

She was pushed into business by an ambitious stage mother and had a nervous breakdown before she was ten. Since then, breakthrough success was always within her grasp, but she kept stepping away from the limelight. Abusive marriages and depression also held her back.

I've never seen her Madame X. Is it any good?

She was full of herself. She was good as Thalia but that was all the type she could play.

Her career peak was "Dobie Gillis".

Oscar nominee for "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"

BAFTA nominee for "Once Upon a Time in America"

New York Film Critics Circle nominee for "Pretty Poison"

Yet her career peak was "Dobie Gillis"?

II'll take "Dobie Gillis" over "Looking for Mr. Goodbar", "Once Upon a Time in America" and "Pretty Poison"..... put together.

She was a revelation in Pretty Poison to me. That performance is so alive and unpredictable! I wish she had done more.
