The facts about Frenda spoon-feeding Karen and Frenda's Mom cradling her are both mentioned in Randy's book. It's just so horrible that she ever got to such a tragic place. But she was so firmly in the grips of that insidious disease by that time. It's like watching someone deteriorate from substance abuse or severe alcoholism....same result.
I was listening to a radio show featuring Karen and Richard from 1981 on an old cassette tonight. She sounds so happy and together....little did we know.
Well his hope that Karen be remembered as one of the greatest singers of all time and not the singer that died from anorexia probably won't be helped much by this documentary (though a number of interviewees expressed the view that she was one of the greatest singers). Their music didn't get much of a look in. In fact I only remember snippets of 3 songs being played during the programme: Please Mr Postman, We've Only Just Begun and Touch Me When We're Dancing.i wonder what Richard will think if he watches.
A friendly reminder from your A&M Corner moderating team: Please refrain from posting any graphic images that might come up regarding the subject matter being discussed here. We would even prefer that graphic language be kept to a minimum on these sensitive topics of autopsies and death. Use Private Conversation threads with multiple participants to keep any of this stuff out of the public eye.
I've started a chat in private messaging about last night's documentary. I'm not sure who else would want to participate so please shout up if you'd like an invite. I've allowed anyone in the conversation to invite others to make it easier
And, in the end, nothing particularly new has been revealed (at least, not to longtime admirers).
I noticed a photo at 22:38 and shows again at 43:46 that I had never seen before in color. Thanks for making this available for the US fans to see.
Great minds Chris! I hadn't seen this before either (taken around late 1981):
