Thank you, Patricia; simple always seems to get through my mental carapace - perhaps an attempt to balance both pressures...
For some peculiar reason, I've been thinking of her recently, wondering how she dealt with the physical changes that time brings to all flesh. I wondered if her timely exit from movies was a planned action to leave at the peak, never to be seen going down the professional hill, or whether she really did prefer stray dogs to most of the people she had buzzing around her - which probably makes sense.
Whatever her reasons, she certainly was unique, the forerunner to thousands of amateur and professional imitators. I think of the Teutonic Claudia Schiffer who also made a career out of looking like her - and probably a lot more money from it too. It's said that being the first in something doesn't always bring the greater success.
