I've seen her in lots of movies and I love her, but her role as a model in Darling required a huge suspension of belief--not just because of her height but her proportions: she has short limbs and her body did not suggest the leggy "bird" of the '60s. Great face, though.

She was superb in "Doctor Zhivago," but,in 1965 on "What's My Line?",Richard Deacon,who guessed her,said she looks 5'3." I'll go along with that,but her character must have been battling pleurisy or bronchial pneumonia because of her nasty chest cough. Saw her in "Darling," too,recently,but I like her better in "Doctor Zhivago,"which I saw right after it premiered in 1965 and loved it,but who would ever thought a 6 year old like me at the time would love it? But Richard Deacon said he loved it,so he gets the "benefit of the doubt",just like the year before,Merlin Olsen's guess of "mystery guest" Sir Rex Harrison triggered me to see "My Fair Lady," after which I told kindergarden teacher Kay Cassassa that "My Fair Lady" would win the 1964 Best Picture Oscar. (I called my shot,like Babe Ruth,Bill Cullen,Joe Namath,and Wayne Webb. It did win the 1964 Best Picture Oscar.) |
