Oh, it most definitely is a headache. A deliberately designed headache. I cannot say where Anna’s soul ended up, but I’d like to think she’s looking down cheering Larry and Virgie on to protect her baby girl.
I hope she is. I was comforted when I heard Anna had the nannies read to her from the Bible after Daniel died. Anna had great appetites, which I think stemmed from a huge void in her soul. Happens to lots of people. She looked for a father figure her whole life, tried to fill it with material things, sex and drugs, and all were found wanting. I really think she could have come around, though, especially before Daniel died. She did say in one interview in 2002 with Greta that she really wanted to have a more normal home life, but wasn’t sure she was capable of it(paraphrasing.)
