Yes, I hope I have loved ones and friends around when I kick off. But more than that, I hope I continue to express love and appreciation to such persons well before that event happens.
Yikes. What an awful end, alone for months with no one even to check up on you.
Who could ever forget her as the floozy in ATTACK OF THE 50-FOOT WOMAN?
I hadn't known (until I just looked it up) that Russ Meyer photographed her for her Playboy centerfold in 1959.
RIP

Gosh, what a sad ending--nobody to care about her or check up on her for months.
