She received mainly negative reviews for her acting, and she began to get depressed. She became an alcoholic, and she began marrying and then divorcing on a regular basis. She had no luck when it came to the opposite sex, for example, she fell in love with playwright Tennessee Williams, but he was a homosexual.
