18. maybe ..i have seen clips from her
last film that was never completed, she was going in another direction moving away from the bomb shell and into "real" women roles. the few scenes i saw, i think she would have made the transition.

14. Her eldest daughter and namesake worked next door to me.
Bu I never got the courage to ask her about her mom; I assumed anything I could ask would just come out in poor taste.

I think she must have been a teen when she lost her mom & with so famous an incident, I don't know how strangers could approach someone and say, "Hey your mom was hot & she got beheaded. Did that suck for you?"
