In 1997, she returned to the big screen again with her participation in the movie The Gambler. She spent a large part of her life in Switzerland, after leaving Hollywood. She then travelled to London, where she died. Her last appearance was in 2003 in a drama film of a joint American-German production. She died on December 30, 2014 at the age of 104.
