From a New York Times obit by Clay Risen headlined “Stella Stevens, Hollywood Bombshell Who Yearned for More, Dies at 84”:

Stella Stevens, whose turn as an A-list actress in 1960s Hollywood placed her alongside sex symbols like Brigitte Bardot, Ann-Margret and Raquel Welch, but who came to resent the male-dominated industry that she felt thwarted her ambitions to be more than a pretty face, died in Los Angeles.
