I recently read "Ava, My Story". I didn't notice anything about Lena, but one thing I did notice in there was the remarkable relationships she had with the men in her life, and the things she put up with.
At one juncture she had a row with George C Scott, she was hit, and had an eye injury that detached her retina and more.
Personally, every time I see Mr. Old George C, I get irritated and tell my kiddos or anyone else who happens to be in the room what I read about the ol' S.O.B.
To be fair, I also tell them that he's a fine actor,and that perhaps it was an aberration in behavior, but that the actors we see on screen are people with lives far outside the roles they portray. Who knows.. maybe it's a good lesson..
but I've still not liked him since
