She was always beautiful. Even as a small girl, you could see the beauty there, waiting, patiently, to develop fully and be brought out. As a young woman, she worked in Hollywood for a few years, playing ever larger rolls in dramas and musicals. Her picture was often in the papers documenting her appearance at this opening or that party. In 1946, she married one of the studio chiefs and stopped appearing in public. She stopped making movies and turned her attentions to being a housewife and hostess. The parties and dinners were grand, held often, included important people, but were not usually reported in the press. She and her husband never had any children of their own, so they adopted two girls. One died of an overdose in the mid-1960s. The other had several marriages and lives outside Paris. She herself is over 80 years old now. Alone in her home north of Carmel. She's writing a biography. They say that she's still beautiful. Still very beautiful.
