She had said in her memoir and I'm paraphrasing here:

"For the last few years I'm waiting for two people to return, my dad and Jesus Christ. I've now realised they're not coming back. At least, I can't be held responsible for death of Jesus."

No, she didn't kill her father, she lived a wild life, and is blaming herself and her lifestyle that made her father stressed about her. (Just stating that for people with low media literacy.)

Search engines are absolutely awful at this. They keep giving links to bible sites or Jesus movies.

Context: I didn't read the original quote in English, it is a translation by me.

I read it in an essay/opinion piece in my mother tongue. The writer was also lamenting about not caring for his father when he was alive and I guess he was writing about the universality of that regret? Been a long time since I read that but that quote has stuck.

Might be extremely helpful if you can add some information like what language, maybe what geo locations

A timeframe would also help. Are we looking for recent writing or something from long ago?

I'd guess the book might be written in 80s-90s, that would put the actress primarily active in the 50s-80s. Just a conjecture.

The quote I read in? That was my mother tongue, not in English.

The actress is Hollywood, so most probably American.

Feel free to hate, but I've found that GPT is often pretty useful at nuanced searches like this. More context is absolutely needed as others have expressed, but according to that LLM, some working candidates might be:

Carrie Fisher, Drew Barrymore, Mackenzie Phillips, Tatum O'Neal and Melanie Griffith.
