Before that i was known to have had quite the dating life, falling for so many of my older male co-stars including Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Ray Milland and David Niven. Such was my reputation of having it away with the stars that Jimmy Stewart's wife would stay on set and would even drive him to and from set every day to make sure he couldn’t get up to anything, or rather i couldn't.
Another notable tryst took place in the early '50s with randy future President John F. Kennedy but statistically every woman who was breathing would have had that distinction if he hadn't have died.
During the filming of The Country Girl, i was involved in a love pentagon with four actors but then my Prince came and the whirlwind affair was everything a girl could wish for, if her wishes included undergoing a fertility test and proving i was a virgin, which i obviously wasn't but they swallowed the 'my hymen tore when horseback riding' so off i went to live a Royal life in Europe.
As for my legacy, the biggest film i was connected to was one i never starred in but came across while sitting on the 20th Century Fox board of directors.
Some young director came in to pitch for a nerdy space fantasy film which was pretty much the dreams of a grown man who had been playing with action figures on his mum's kitchen table too much but as the the board of directors were unsure, i had the deciding vote but i really didn't give a crap about a geeky space film so gave a bored shrug, which they took as consent which meant Star Wars was made.
I could have done with a Millennium Falcon that day i suffered a stroke and drove my car off a mountain but an American actress becoming a European Princess, that's never going to happen again.
