I remember some of this story of the JFK connection but not the year of her death. Ironically, I thought of this as I watched Yul Brynner as the Mystery Guest on WML....hilarious if you want to. Get a good laff. Probably from 1958 or so.
I wonder what Dorothy knew and when did. She know it
She knew she was in danger. But the fact that it went unnoticed by me, who used to lap up every bit of news available — newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio — leads me to think that it was not treated as anything suspicious, or of particular interest, to the west coast where I lived at the time. If it was thought to be suicide, that probably wasn’t reported. Newspapers tended to be reticent bout that in those days. They probably just said that she “died at home”. Of course, in those days, I just thought she was terribly old.
