NotesShe 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.
