Public Comments

1. Marylin Monroe.
2. Opera or Dana Reeve
3. Helen Keller, Oprah Winfrey would be interesting, but she's not dead, Marilyn Monroe (sp?), um...can't think of ne more
4. Maya Angelou
5. I'm torn between Rita Hayworth, a favorite of mine, and Loretta Young. Both women rose to the heights in their fields, but I'm not sure about a tragic death. I think I heard that Rita Hayworth developed Alzheimers, but I'm not sure. And while Loretta Young was in movies and on tv for what seemed like decades, I don't remember ever seeing a picture of her looking "old".
6. Sylvia Path. She was an author, wrote The Bell Jar. She was influential in writing also i am pretty sure she stuck her head in the over and gassed herself.
7. I think Jayne Mansfield would be interesting. She was in a car, on the passenger side on a foggy night when it went underneath the back of a truck some say decapitating her, others that it scalped her, and yet others say that it tore her wig off. But the fact remains it killed her. Her three children were in the backseat asleep which was why they survived. One of her children, Mariska Hargitay, plays on "Law and Order, SVU". According to the gossip, Ms. Hargitay has it in her contract that no one is allowed to ask her about her famous deceased mother. I gave you a link below to get started.
8. I would do Frida Kahlo, she was very well known in hispanic culture for her art.
