Angela Stevens(1925-2016)

Retired abruptly from acting in the early 1960s to take care of her ailing 15-year-old son, Joe, who tragically broke his neck after diving off a pier and hitting a sandbar. She nursed him for 23 years until his death at the age of 38.

I really had no desire to be an actress. People used to stop me on the street, photographers mostly, and ask me if I'd pose for them. So I was doing that for nothing until someone suggested I ought to be getting paid for it.
