Well, I guess so. What she lacks is her own 'Grapes of Wrath' (to use an allegory), a lead performance in a classic dramatic film, her best roles are either in obscure ones (Joseph Andrews, 1977), television (Who will love my children, 1983), or supporting (Carnal Knowledge, 1971), or in films whose quality is debated (Tommy, 1975). Comparing her abilities (act, sing, dance), her heartbreaker looks (on par with that of Welch, Monroe, Hayworth, Kelly, Wood, Loren) and her popularity in the 60s (TOP 10 box office star in 1964) with her position nowadays, I can see that somehow, someday, something went wrong along the way. Maybe it was turning down Cat Ballou and Bonnie and Clyde, maybe it was choosing to play second fiddle to John Wayne in a old-fashioned laughable western after being Oscar-nominated. I don't know, but in discussions about classic sex symbols she's often ignored, even though she should be mentioned. But I think she's a legend. Don't know if others agree.
