A wonderful actress. She gave such a heartrending performance in, 'Red Sky at Morning'. She is so natural, without affectations. And she has the elegance to match.

Roth made her choose between him and her daughter, and she sent the girl away.
Of course, Roth was (and maybe still is) a megalomaniac, but that's no excuse for Bloom's actions.
BTW, there is an episode on LAW & ORDER that is loosely based on their relationship. I don't1c84 know the title, but actor Robert Foxworth played the "Philip Roth" surrogate.
