Kim, who starred in Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery in 1983, largely disappeared from Hollywood for several years, as she suffered from intense agoraphobia and couldn’t leave her home.

My basket was almost full, and I found something really overcoming me in such a way that I couldn’t breathe,” she explained. “So I left the basket, and I made it to my car, and that was the last time I drove for almost six, seven months.”
