Anyway the family and mental health issues she dealt with personally and
politically are worthy of note.


One of my all-time favourite films is 'My Sweet Charlie' in which she
played one of the two leading roles.  Her character is a racist, white
pregnant teenager who has to leave home and ends up in a house with a black
civil rights activist who is on the run.  Her character's life/views are
changed by the experience.  A very moving film.

My guess from that film is that she was progressive, certainly in the 60s.

The film, I think, was made in late 60s.
