I watched ANNE OF THE THOUSAND DAYS again last week and she was quite superb, and cute as a button to boot. After such a stunning debut, and a best actress nom , she was gone. I know there was KING OF HEARTS with the divine Alan Bates, and DEAD RINGERS , but that's not exactly a great career arc. What happened ? was she "difficult" ?
Why did GENEVIEVE BUJOLD 's career go straight down the shitter ?

Maybe she just didn’t have the career drive. Or else, too much booze and pills.

I love this movie. She is an excellent petulant princess while Richard Burton puts his usual tendency towards being hammy to good use.

I thought she may have been too old for the role in Dead Ringers.

Did she have an affair with midget Roman Polanski?

I loved her in "Coma"; in fact, I love "Coma," a movie that seems to have disappeared.....She made some impossibly weird choices--I mean, "Earthquake"? She was ALL WRONG.

Coma is currently streaming on HBOMax.

She was signed to a contract w/ Universal and refused a role they wanted her for after Anne of a Thousand Days, and went abroad and did art films (not nudies) for three years. She finally settled things with Universal an they put her straight into Earthquake. She then did Swashbuckler, Obsession and Coma, and a few others.
And then she turned 40.

She was cast as the original Captain Janeway on Star Trek Voyager but got cold feet and dashed from the set in a state of shame before the first day's shoot was completed.

She also did [italic]Tightrope[/italic] with Clint Eastwood. I don't know what it was all about.

Ok , so Genevieve was a huge bitch, refusing this and that, very well cast as Anne Boleyn, and her reign as a diva almost as long as Anne's...

I know she's beloved, but she isn't [italic]that[/italic] beloved that she would need a monthly WHET thread.
This place is starting to remind me of an old people's home where you hear the same fucking stories over and over again.
