    Find a copy of "The Quiet Man", and run it until John Wayne first sees her. She was friggin' beautiful, and "cold" simply didn't apply.

    Now, "Statuesque", maybe...

    some reasons why no one talks...

    For years, women have whispered about Weinstein, about James Toback, and so many others. They whispered but they didn’t speak out. Women in Hollywood knew that to say anything in public about this guy or that guy was to risk a reputation as being crazy, or difficult. Not fun. When women are 51 percent of the population but less than 30 percent of the faces onscreen, the last thing you want to be thought of is hard to work with. Besides, skeptics always say, they went voluntarily to his hotel room; what did they expect? And it was not like they could report him to HR. In many of these cases, HR reports to him. Successful men have layers of people in place to help them get their job done. So do successful predators. For most of these women, it was better to just make your contribution to the whisper network and try to figure out a way to forget it happened.


    and her comments about herself even as a grown up...

    Like all young women working in the business, I understood part of my job was to smile and stay quiet.

    excellent article

    "The same women who spoke among themselves about Harvey, about Terry, also speak about well-known actors who are not quite the loving family men their publicists would have you believe. Instead of a bathrobe, it’s a private meeting. Instead of a clumsy grope, it’s a “helpful” lingering brush of your breast. Instead of a disgusting proposition, it’s a greasy little implication that a few minutes together could lead to something better down the road. This is no longer black and white. It’s gray. And people don’t like gray, especially when it comes to sexual assault, which they really don’t want to be thinking about at all. They like their sexual assault clear, recognizable, and not committed by men who are America’s marital hall pass. Should these stories come out, the public’s response to the victims might not be nearly as supportive."

    I thought "Baretta" was the entry that jumped out there.

    Could be, he is a murderer after all, (imho).

    "When I was in elementary school, I appeared on a television show. The assistant director softly whispered to my mother to never leave me alone with the show’s star."
