This morning she’s been halied as many things. A trailblazer in a (still) male-dominated industry, a sex symbol unlike any other, an actress whose age was a strength and the last glimmering light of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was her presence and her ability as an actor, evident since her startling debut, and her undiminished light in these last years. It’s an amazing thing to have someone having been directed by Howard Hawks and Jonathan Glazer. She’ll be missed, but her light is bright enough that she’ll not be forgotten.
Here’s the clip people are playing this morning. Not only is it a perfect illustration of her simmering presence but at the age of just nineteen talent this evident should be celebrated.
