Lets not forget that Ann Margret, On September 9, 1972, while performing at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, she fell 42 feet from an elevated platform to the stage and suffered injuries including a broken left arm, cheekbone and jawbone. Smith flew a stolen plane from Burbank, California, to Lake Tahoe and back to get his wife to surgeons at UCLA for treatment, which included meticulous facial reconstructive surgery that required wiring her mouth shut and putting her on a liquid diet. Unable to work for ten weeks, she ultimately returned to the stage almost back to normal.[12]
Somehow .. I think you missed my post #82?

Wow. Almost in “The Death Zone” and made that sort of comeback.
Beauty and toughness in the same package.
(My mountaineering friends call falls of 50 feet or more “The Death Zone”.)
