What a life she has led. She won both a film BAFTA and a TV BAFTA. She was married to outsized personalities like actor Rod Steiger and author Philip Roth. She had a famous romance with the even more outsized Richard Burton, and even one with Lord Olivier himself. She has a daughter who is a successful opera singer. She wrote two memoirs. The first was a serious book about her career: “Limelight and After: The Education of an Actress” (1982). The second one was a controversial tell-all called “Leaving a Doll’s House: A Memoir” (1996).
She is still with us, aged 90, and supposedly has a new movie in the pipeline.
