NOTES She was nominated but she didn't get the Oscar. I thought

Carmen Jones superb and I never knew all the singing voices

were dubbed. She was 31 then and only 42 when she killed

herself (some say it was an accidental overdose). She had

an affair with the director of Carmen, Otto Preminger, who

was 17 years her senior. And she had only one child, a

daughter, who had learning difficulties.
