“I wanted to be a writer-director,” she told the film scholar Michael G. Ankerich in 1994. “All of a sudden I got sidetracked into being a sexpot. Once I was a ‘pot,’ there was nothing I could do. There was nothing legitimate I could do.”

According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of 'sexpot', as in a conspicuously sexy woman, occured in 1948.
