Despite winning good reviews for her early roles, and being described as a promising talent, Frederick's career quickly stagnated. She married the actor and comedian Peter Sellers, and was criticised by many of his contemporaries who regarded her as an opportunist attempting to further her own career. After his death in 1980, Frederick won a lawsuit against the makers of Trail of the Pink Panther (1982), claiming the film tarnished Sellers' memory. She married the British television presenter and journalist David Frost. This marriage ended in divorce in 1982, and she married for the third time the following year, with this marriage also ending in divorce, in 1991.
