Lee Was Given an Ultimatum
Her first try at acting had gone horribly wrong. However, Capote had sold Lee on the concept of becoming a celebrity. She saw it in her future and wanted to pursue it. The difficulty was that she was not very talented and lacked proper training. In 1944, she appeared in a remake of Laura. Lee thought it was better than her previous performance, but her husband saw it as the last straw. Lee wasn’t just embarrassing herself; she was also dragging her family along. He needed to halt it, and he knew exactly how. The Prince offered his wife an ultimatum, stating that she could give up her dream of becoming a star or say goodbye to her children. Lee’s children came first, and for her, the choice was clear.
