like better than to restore your confidence in me. ‘My heart split even
wider seeing you cry in front of all these people.’

Beaton, in which he reassured her she was a fine actress, and a
19-minute reel made after her 1961 movie ‘The Misfits’ wrapped which
shows her happily on the beach with co-star Gable and other friends.
