They can say she has famed "It" because she has often appeared on the screen without very many clothes (Male and Female). They can suspect her of fickle loves (Sprinter Charles Paddock). They know she is ath-a-let-tic by the way she bounces around on the screen. She may be classified somewhere between a capable actress and a capable clown...
