"I expect to be with [Leigh] for the rest of my life,"

So, deserted by her father at a very young age, she developed a strong antipathy towards her dad for years to come. She even changed her name to keep herself from being recognized in the spotlight as Vic's daughter.
The longterm resentment towards her dad was shockingly apparent when she remained equivocal after her father's death in 1982 from a helicopter crash.
