The (should be famous) Last Words of James Whale

Jun 04, 2007 22:47

"To all I Love,
  Do not grieve for me. My nerves are all shot and for the last year I have been in agony day and nights -except when I sleep with sleeping pills-and any peace I have by day is when I am drugged by pills.
  I have had a wonderful life but it is over and my nerves get worse and I am afraid they will have to take me away. So please forgive me, all those I love and may God forgive me too, but I cannot bear the agony and it best for everyone this way.
  The future is just old age and illness and pain. Goodbye all and thank you for all your love. I must have peace and this is the only way.
  Jimmy"

Helluva suicide note, eh? Classy.
