Didn’t she beat out 800 other actresses for the role? What’s with this recent trend to refer to women as actors, to apparently be gender neutral?

So then, at the Oscar’s and other awards shows, will awards specifically for actresses be done away with, if the powers that be have determined that acting should be described in gender neutral terms?

She was pretty but had serious mental problems from an early age.

She was a cutie pie, although too old to play Nabokov's "Lolita."

James Mason was kind of amazing in Lolita.

I this where the porn term “lolita” comes from? Epstein’s “Lolita express.”

I’ve never seen Lolita (and never will) but I have seen Night of the Iguana...one of my very favorite films.Richard Burton was good,Ava Gardner was great but Deborah Kerr was absolutely brilliant.

I had a friend who was set up to date her right after she filmed lolita. Took her to the school dance. His mom knew her mom. Trying to normalize her life.

And look where we are now in society. We can’t take attraction of men to women out of the species for that’s what sustains us and is natural us but I will never understand pedophilia.

Richard Burton signed to do Night of the Iguana in Puerto Vallarta with Ava Gardner and sue Lyons. Liz Taylor was anticipating trouble with her cockhound husband.

Burton had been pleased a house during the filming. Liz bought the house across the street and had a walkway built between to two second floor decks. Can still see the houses on a city tour there.

Hollywood messed her up. Married 5 times including a guy she met in prison. A car accident did not help either.

Glad to see that Hollywood Reporter is maintaining its high journalistic standards.

(What shape does the color red have, anyway?!)

Lolita suffers due to two things, the first, the actual writing. The second, is people who haven’t read the book commenting on a book they haven’t read.

She had a hard life, though much of her difficulties were of her own making. Now, may she finally rest in peace.
