Bambi on the Run
Bambi chose to run west, away from her past and into, hopefully, a new life. She stopped running in Vancouver, Washington, where she found new friends and a new job, advising other women who also came into conflict with the law. And after a few failed romances, she finally found a new lover.

Bambi was also able to find a break from the spotlight out in Washington. But here’s the thing: you can take Bambi out of the media, but you can’t take the scandal out of Bambi. She was followed by bad luck, and no matter where she ran, she never found peace.
