Dear Sandy Klein,

I'm pretty sure this article was translated into English (from what
language?) by an electronic translator. Look no further than the
first two sentences: "Actress driven to stardom thanks to his [?????]
role as the famous Lolita....Acquired star status in her debut was
not sustained for long, and his [?????] promising career collapsed"

Other gems:

"Although it was larger than the protagonist of the novel as it had
for 15 years, Sue accepted the offer of Kubrick..."

"The marriage lasted less than a year and finally divorced in 1965."

"His fortunes changed cinema in the late 70s, sunset and end of his
career..."

"Finally, in 1985 found emotional stability telecommunications
engineer Richard Rudman, with whom she lived until his recent divorce."

Yours,

Ari Lieberman
