By the age of five, she had already appeared in more than 50 commercials and, in her memoir 'This Is Me,' recalled feeling like “a little soldier” under the weight of her mother's ambition. “I was eight months old when I started baby modeling,” she said. Media pressure also contributed to body dysmorphia, and she has described how a publicist once gave her "happy pills" to keep her upbeat during interviews, a practice that later fed an addiction to alcohol and opioids.

She was subjected to relentless scrutiny of her appearance, from critics who sexualized her body to filmmaker Vincent Gallo's public comments about her weight. In film after film, costume and styling choices were aimed at downplaying her developing figure and making her appear less womanly. The experience left Ricci rejecting her own image and eventually struggling first with bulimia and then anorexia. “ I hated the whole ‘sexy’ thing, and people talking about my boobs. It was just gross to me. Totally gross,” she told 'The New Yorker.'

One of its most striking testimonies came from Evan Rachel Wood ('Practical Magic,' 'Thirteen'), who described her career as a lonely and deeply alienating experience, to the point where she felt no one ever stopped to ask how she was doing. “The better I did, the more I felt like who I was wasn’t acceptable,” Wood said. “I don’t think that anybody did that on purpose, but suddenly I felt like I didn’t belong to myself anymore. I was a commodity that needed to be monitored and groomed, I had to look a certain way and present myself a certain way.

Following the release of the documentary 'Quiet on Set,' which brought to light numerous allegations of abuse and inappropriate behavior surrounding the channel's children's productions, the 'Wicked' star said the industry should provide far greater protection for minors. “I think that the environment needs to be made safer if kids are going to be acting, and I think there should be therapists. I think there should be parents allowed to be wherever they want to be. Not only on kids sets — if anyone wants to do this or music or anything, at the level of exposure that it means to be on TV or to do music with a major label or whatever, there should be in the contract something about, ‘Therapy is mandatory twice a week.’ Or thrice a week.

At an age when teenagers are still forming their sense of self, she has said, the experience shaped how she viewed her place in the world and led her to doubt whether performing was what she was meant to do.

The media mogul had a reputation as a womaniser, a heavy drinker and a provocateur, traits that undoubtedly contributed to the gradual deterioration of their marriage. Fonda also reflected on a recurring pattern in her relationships, writing that during her marriages she had often tried to become the woman she believed her partner wanted her to be. Her separation from Turner, she explained, ultimately led her to a profound realization: that she did not need a man in order to feel complete.

There were times when something would set us to laughing so hard we'd sink to the floor, like the night when our guffaws collapsed us at the foot of the 'Gone With the Wind' staircase at his plantation, and we had to crawl up to bed on hands and knees,” she wrote.

The divorce was finalized the following month, bringing to an end nearly a decade together. According to accounts from those close to him, Turner was devastated by the breakup and is said to have spent months mourning the loss of the actress. More than a decade later, in a 2012 interview, the media mogul revealed that he was maintaining four romantic relationships at the same time and organized his schedule so that he could spend one week each month with each partner. The contrast seemed to encapsulate the very different paths the former couple took after their separation. While Fonda increasingly focused on personal growth, activism and her return to acting, Turner remained true to the larger-than-life persona that had made him one of America’s most colorful and unconventional businessmen.

When the 49-year-old British actress walked by and saw the pens pointed at her as well, she warned them with a laugh: “Just so you know, you won’t make much money from my autograph, okay?” Maybe because of her low-key recent public profile — in the media, not professionally — Morton was right.
