yes, and imagine all the talented, hard working women who were passed over for roles she got because many men will choose objectifying a beautiful woman over all else.

recently watched Cat People 1982 and i feel so bad for her. it is clear Hollywood men were viewing her like a complete sex doll.

She was a bit better in that one but it's painfully obvious she was only seen as a sex object. In EXPOSED, Rudolf Nureyev uses her body as a cello.

But the worst movie she did was a creepy "love story" between her and Marcello Mastroianni, she did that movie when she was a minor and he was in his 50s.

To be fair this aligns very well (in a dark, sad way) with the story and message of Tess.
