Suicide is a problem we do not discuss so it makes it harder to solve.
Two successful Hollywood actresses died by suicide on April 30 in the early seventies: Inger Stevens (pictured below) in 1970 and Gia Scala (pictured above) in 1972 at 38 years of age.
Two stars.
Popular.
But lonely.
Stevens co-starred opposite Bing Crosby, Harry Belafonte, Walter Matthau, Clint Eastwood, Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum and Henry Fonda. She won a Golden Globe and was nominated for two Emmys.
She was 35 when she died in an ambulance from a barbiturate overdose.
She was a star but said, “Sometimes I get so lonely I could scream.”
She wanted to quit Hollywood and work full-time looking after retarded kids
Such a waste.
