On September 10, 1971 she died of an accidental overdose of barbiturate in Beverly Hills, California. Beals has since starred in a list of lesser-known films and independent projects. During the 1960s and until 1970 the actress returned to live and work in Europe, mainly Italy. Her career was affected by scandal shortly after, however, when it was revealed that some of the scenes in that movie where athletics were required were actually performed not by Beals herself, but by doubles. During her marriage to singer/actor Vic Damone (1954-1959 divorce), the actress asked to be released from her contract. Flashdance made Beals a Hollywood star and made her a household name. During the 1950s she was under MGM contract and was phrased for her acting in instance the movie "Somebody Up There Likes Me". Beals is a former teen model who is probably better known for her role as Alex in the 1983 movie Flashdance.
