I have to agree. Though she seems to operate in the at least borderline range of intellectual functioning, she clearly is easily influenced, esp. when someone so clearly from humble means is tempted by fame and money. The vision of a child being seduced by a preadtor offering candy comes to mind. But, this is just my impression.
In the end, like so many of the film greats from the 20's until about the 50's - I think the producers jacked her full of whatever drugs it took to get her through it because ad space likely tripled in value.
