...Keeler story recalls Fanny Hill and The Perils of Pauline more than the Duke of Windsor.

...much of a role drugs played in their world is hard to discern. Columnist Steve Brandt says that Sharon gloried in her pregnancy, sunning herself in a bikini while pregnant. When asked if she was taking drugs, she told him, "Steve, I would do nothing to jeopardize the baby." Sharon was described by some friends as a serious actress with a wide range of interests-dance, music, fencing, skiing-and by others as a vacuous bathing beauty who was capitalizing on Polanski's fame...
