Unlike most film stars of the 50's and 60's, she seemed to be a free spirit. She famously said when she left films at the age of 39, "I gave my youth and beauty to men, now I will give my wisdom and experience to animals....and that's exactly what she did do.

It is sad when someone who had an influence in your life dies.
I think for many women she was quite inspirational. Her beauty obviously, but the way she lived her life. She spoke out about what she felt was happening in the world, and was often in trouble for it,now of course millions agree that decades ago she was right, and even though she was prosecuted and fined many times...she never wavered.
She was also criticised for the way she looked as she aged, usually by people who don't have a mirror or prefer the plastic dummy look....I thought she was gorgeous when young and fabulous when old.
