Carole Landis

fftopic:

Yes, poor Carole Landis, such a nice, such a fine, decent actress! So sad she just went and took an overdose of Seconal when Rex Harrison refused to be with her.

What a waste, how can anybody be so silly ( honestly, what was she thinking of ???? omg.) ...and how totally unnecessary,,,
