If only she could've made more of her talents. If only she'd have got that one, perfect lead role. It's such a shame her career didn't go to 'greatness' as I really think she had some star quality - perhaps she was never at quite the right place at quite the right time.

My mom was a fan of hers so I've always been curious about what happened to her. Thanks for filling in the blanks.
