My impressions
The perception that a beautiful woman with brains is a misnomer may not
be too far-fetched in this case. A beautiful woman, well known actress could not
be more than that. A product of the factory system in film making.
But she was naturally inclined towards more cerebral pursuits and found
satisfaction with projects that challenges her thinking. A fact that many do not
know or refuse to acknowledge.
Only in hindsight do we realise the machinations used by the movie moguls
in producing their assembly line films. In part, it does explain the sad state
of the star’s personal life.
Her achievements may have been dismissed during her heyday, but she is a
pioneer. The accolade came late and her contribution is now recognised as a
fact.
Beauty and brains do exist together.
