Really an amazing similarity. Thanks. Another thing, prior to hooking up with Stern Anna actually had a budding film career, which nose-dived once he came into her life.
It seemed a lot went wrong when HKS was around and he was coveniently the only one around who could "save" her. I think he convinced her of that... the self-fulfiling prophecy of despair and then rescue. HKS -- a modern day Svengali.
