Reminds me of Susan Hayward

Just another dead groupie junkie. Only in Hollywood can people who stood for nothing be held up for adoration.

I first heard about her after seeing her in a Noir Alley movie called The Man Who Cheated Himself on TCM. At the conclusion of the movie, host Eddie Muller told how her life story went after that movie. It sounded to me like a cautionary tale about a woman who made a lot of wrong choices. I doubt it will be portrayed that way, though. I can't imagine a beautiful woman kissing Castro, let alone having sex with such a repugnant pig.
