...Director Richard Attenborough, 57, (Young Winston, A Bridge Too Far) told her that if he ever managed to make a film biography of the Indian leader, he wanted her to play the part of the star photojournalism Bourke-White captured in the pages of FORTUNE the gritty, yet poetic texture of industrial America in the 1930s, and her shot of Montana's Fort Peck Dam graced the first cover of LIFE. Bergen took to the shutter when her film career faltered, and in 1972 also made the cover of LIFE with her portrait of Comedian Charlie Chaplin...

Laurier is Manon: a terrible angel of a devil, hungry for something she can neither identify nor locate in her drab, shabby life. Absorbed in the poetic fierceness of Wuthering Heights. Manon alternates between sudden overwhelming emotional outbursts and sulking hostility. She is entirely too much for her mother Michelle (Marie Tifo), a big-hearted, big-boned woman of loose morality and easy virtue, to handle...
