Marriages are not always founded on love; in some cases, women want to marry for the sake of convenience so that they will not require anything in the future. This occurred in the life of Anna Smith, the protagonist of our story.
In the 1990s, everyone was aware of this stunning blonde. She is a stunning woman with seductive shapes who has been able to transform people from the ground up, beginning her adult life with spicy dances.
And now, by chance, she encounters one of America’s wealthiest individuals, 90-year-old James Howard Marshall 2. True, the marriage was short-lived; the man died barely a year after the wedding.
Anna will continue to write novels after that, but there will be no more high-profile ones in her life. The lady has a daughter, Dannielynn, from one of her other marriages. Anna was already hooked on illicit narcotics at the time, so her daughter wasn’t as essential to her.
The dazzling blonde, whom millions of men wished for and for whom they were willing to lay the entire world at her feet, died while still a young lady. She had a drug problem. Anna’s kid now lives with her father, who took her away from her mother practically quickly.
The Corpse of Drew Barrymore’s Grandfather Was Stolen for One Last Celebration
John Barrymore came from a long line of theater actors. He himself first appeared on stage alongside his father in 1900, and in 1903 officially began his career, starring in the likes of Justice (1916) and Richard III (1920). His greatest role was his 1992 appearance in Hamlet, for which he was dubbed “the greatest living American tragedian.”
Barrymore also starred in a slew of silent films, most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Beau Brummel (1924). He later made the transition to sound movies, starring in the likes of Grand Hotel (1932) and Midnight (1939).
On May 29, 1942, Barrymore died at the age of 60 from pneumonia and cirrhosis. What happened next has been the subject of many rumors. It’s alleged his friends, Errol Flynn, W.C. Fields and Sadakichi Hartmann snuck into the morgue where his body was being held, propped him up against a poker table and allowed him to experience one final celebration.
As it turns out, these rumors are true! In an August 2020 episode of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, the acting legend’s granddaughter, Drew Barrymore, revealed his corpse had actually been stolen.
“Not only yes, but there have been cinematic interpretations of it,” she exclaimed. Those interpretations include S.O.B., starring Julie Andrews, and allegedly the 1989 comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, in which two friends pretend their deceased boss is alive.
Barrymore added that she wants the same to happen to her. “I will say this, I hope my friends do the same for me. That is the kind of spirit I can get behind. Just prop the old bag up, let’s have a few rounds.
“I think death comes with so much morose sadness and I understand that, but if it’s okay, just for me, if everybody could be really happy and celebratory and have a party, that would be my preference.”
Vintage Hollywood certainly was a different era…
