So sad to read of her decline and ultimate suicide. I think there is a long string of similar suicides — River Phoenix, Erin Moran, Corey Haim, others? How many murders have there been? From the Black Dahlia to Phil Spector murdering Lana Clarkson.
You look at how many Hollywood types are completely screwed up emotionally and psychologically and I bet most of it is a result of psychological/sexual trauma at a young age. Boys, girls, it doesn’t matter. Sure, where are the parents, but where is law enforcement?
I'm thinking further back the the adorable boy on Family Affair. he committed "suicide" at a very young age.
We wondered at the time, movie star what did he have to kill himself for? This might explain a lot!
I'm getting to think like another freeper who said he was going to quit going to movies with young children because they were probably getting abused.
If I was a stage mom, you can bet your booty I wouldn't let my kid go to a "hot dog" party with a bunch of old men!!!
Jonathan Brandis and Sawyer Sweetin committed suicide too.
In the late fifties-early 60s I worked at a recording studio in mid-town Manhattan.
One of the record producers who would buy studio time was Phil Spector. During a break one afternoon Phil liked to amble around the studio, proudly showing off his snub-nose Smith & Wesson 38.
There are many musicians who can tell stories about Phil taking out his weapon & waving it around during recording sessions. He was fascinated with guns.
