Even into her adulthood, many insecurities haunted the actress. Also, she reached an age where acting roles were not flowing in like they used to. Gavin Lambert, her biographer, wrote, “During the last two years of her life, they became fully awake, and the rest of the story is of addiction to painkillers and too much white wine out of frustration at a stalled career.”
