She must have been. She died of a drug overdose most likely to say goodbye to her misery. Sad.
shareI thought she was suicided by the CIA.
shareThe likeliest explanatkion for her death is that she took too many pills in an attempt to knock herself into sleep, or that taking too many perscription pills cause a fatal interaction. Her death was probably totally accidental, and if it was intentional, the odds are that it was her that intended it.
I can believe she was "miserable most of the time", she was a mess in private. And old enough to realize that being world-famous hadn't made her happy, and that her career was slipping through her fingers.
Yeah, she was an addict. They aren’t happy people.
shareIt wasn't just the addiction that made her unhappy, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was suicide. She was basically a very unhappy person, and by the time she died, she'd found that nothing she'd tried to make herself happy had worked. Love and marriage hadn't worked, fame and popular adulation hadn't worked, therapy hadn't worked (because her doctor was worse than useless), devoted friends hadn't worked, professional development hadn't worked... she'd achieved it all, and none of it had brought her the happiness and security she craved.
Plus, there's the persistent rumors that Frank Sinatra and his Mafia pals had gang-raped her on her recent visit to the Cal-Neva lodge, and filmed it. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she'd decided she'd had enough.
I’d never heard that about Sinatra but I don’t doubt it.
I wouldn’t say she achieved marriage since they both failed. They seemed doomed tbh. DiMaggio wanted a stay at home wife to cook and clean and wait on him and so he married the world's biggest sex symbol. Bad match. He couldn’t accept her and wanted to change her and bring her down.
Miller, as brilliant as he was, was equally creepy IMO. He’s on record bragging about the sex he had with her. Not a very respectful way to treat ones wife.
She was an orphan right? I shudder to think what she endured as a child.
I was just remembering that like yesterday.
