They abused her mentally, physically and sexually, living it up on her earnings while denying her even a mirror because it might make her vain. Yet Duke, 40, forgives them because they also made her an actress -- the craft that sustained her through four marriages, unwed motherhood and repeated suicide attempts triggered by manic-depressive illness that remained undiagnosed until her middle 30s.
