When you're a child star, you can be in the spotlight for a long time. Her heyday was actually before my mother was born, and yet she was still only 85 when she passed away. It's kind of amazing. And good for her for making the transition to real life after child stardom. I wonder if she was able to keep her money or if it all went to other people.

She also married into money, sat on several corporate boards [including Disney], was twice US Ambassador [Ghana and Czechoslovakia], and US representative to the UN.
