No one said that any more after they saw her in Separate Tables, playing both a repressed spinster and a glamorous high-fashion model. In Sweet Bird of Youth, she was a supremely fading beauty, the sharded Hollywood sexpot with her heart on her thigh. Her manner and expression are so mobile, in fact, that it is possible to see four pictures of her in four different...
