She was only 19 when she played Esmeralda in "Hunchback of Notre Dame" She was probably the last surviving Actor/Actress from that Film....R.I.P.  |  IP: Logged Robert Koch Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Williams Ca USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 10-27-2015 05:04 PM                     Agreed.

Theres a daughter, grandson and great-grandchildren. As a matter of fact, she lived in Ireland for many years until a few years back when her health went worse and she returned to the US to be with her family. I actually saw her personally in Ireland on some charity event. There's also a tiny bit of a nasty story about her splitting with her long-time personal assistant, preceding her return to the US, but that's more hearsay, although it had some local press coverage... Anyway, fascinating she was there for so long, and in good shape during all but the very few last years. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
