Spindly and coltish as Selina, with a plain-pretty face that can erupt unexpectedly into electric beauty, she wins genuine sympathy by playing up the spunk in her role, playing against the saccharine. She is achingly real without ever being soppy, whether cursing her fate, dodging flatware during a pitched battle between Winters and Ford, or unemotionally explaining to Poitier that she is "experienced" with men because of a brutal encounter with one of her mother's drunken beaus...
