I think you may be right about Mariel and Margaux
Margaux was a model, and she was perfect for the camera. Epilepsy maybe derailed her success? No idea

I enjoy
Lipstick
and that explosive ending is just so fitting.
Mariel had a lovely and serene screen presence about herself and if she really wanted it, I think she could have had a bigger movie career. She didn't appear to be egotistical and for that to happen, one has to want too and know how to play the game.
She was the best thing about Allen's over-praised
Manhattan - '79
. I just can't really connect with, or quite get into this pretentious and self-absorbed offering of his despite the music and gorgeous b&w cinematography. Its certainly not the radiant light that is
Annie Hall - '77
and
Interiors - '78
I find more compelling and even amusing to watch.
Apparently Allen himself isn't too fond of
Manhattan
.
Norman! What did you put in my tea? -

Mariel scored herself a best supp actress Oscar nom for her role in
Manhattan
. She is the light in the film, which has underlying ugly tones/themes despite it being a supposedly sophisticated comedy.
The other characters just aren't that likeable or endearing and if this was Allen's point, I don't think it worked and it was just a wish fulfillment fantasy of his, a 40 something dating a 17yr old.
I don't even get why Mariel's sweet Tracy character would even fall for such a creepy nebbish gorp and Allen sort of rehashed his Alvy Singer character from
Annie Hall
, in that Issac was educating her. It was the wrong type of education.
I wanted Sarandon to suffer big time in
Lipstick
. Its been a while since I saw and I can't recall if Margaux torments him before blowing him the f<>k away,

She wouldn't. Like you said, it was Allen's fantasy

Ohhhh, my mind was thinking she blew the car up into a fireball.
What would happen to her?

Its been a long time since I saw.
Do you recall if it mentioned what happened to Margaux's character?
Sorry, I don't
I was 21 when I saw it

I will have to find time to check out my old vhs tape if the machine is still working.
I was hoping to watch in on here a couple of months ago.

I don't watch whatever she's in, but I agree about her prettiness and talent

She is
If she stays out of the sun, she will save herself from getting wrinkles. She's only 49
