* HollywoodHypeMachine: The buzz surrounding her from ''Film/RomeoAndJuliet1968'' led to her being offered roles in ''Film/AnneOfTheThousandDays'' and ''Film/TrueGrit'' but she turned them down due to teenage nerves, and took a couple of years off after ''Romeo & Juliet''. She did however star in notable projects like ''Series/JesusOfNazareth'', ''Literature/DeathOnTheNile'', ''Mother Teresa of Calcutta'' and ''The Bastard'' - or else {{Cult Classic}}s like ''Film/BlackChristmas1974'' or ''Film/{{IT 1990}}''. So while it's not the career it could have been, her filmography is still quite varied.
