one of the cruelest things in movies is when someone with huge potential and talent doesn't manage to reach their full potential because Mr Death comes a knocking. There are many celebrities here, including my personal fave, Marilyn Monroe.
To me, She was probably the icon of an era yet to come; a symbol of the sixties before anyone had any notion of what the sixties would actually be like.

Had she lived, her looks would have faded and media interest would have melted away, but her talent would have grown. Bus Stop, her finest dramatic role gives a mouthwatering taste of what it is we lost out on with her death.

God I talk some tedious toss, sometimes.
