I found this and the next one in a magazine and was pretty touched by them.

    What a sad picture! When I see pictures of his last days it wrenches my heart and I always say “How could you do this to yourself – how could you?”

    Tina, you (probably accidentally) disabled the comment possibility for the Saga picture, so I answer here: one source I found says that the mag is from the late 1950s.

    I did flip this one too just to see if it is also backwards? What do you think – is it? Btw – this is fun!

    This one is now correct–but a historical revisionist's fingerprints are on it.

    Are you calling me a historical revisionist? I only took out of his mouth a few cigarettes just to preserve his life! I wish I could have saved his life!

    Good by intention, but revisionist by act. His life was destroyed far more by other things, most especially liquor–why leave that in his hand?

    I know liquor and drugs too, but I am not able to that I am not that artistic. It is such a pity what he did to himself.

    Yes if he didn't all those things he would have lived longer.

    Even if you take away the liquor and cigs his face shows all the damage. So sad when he is only 50! It bothers me to look at pictures of him at the end. It just seems he thought he was dieing anyway so why care so he didn't and ends up killing himself. Ay, ay, ay.

    Hi Kathleen:
    You are so right – bullseye! I am 100% with you!
    I am with you when you say you have a hard time to look at those pictures from the last two years of his life, every time I see one I shudder and tears come to my eyes. One could say that he performed one of the slowest suicides in history – all the way from 1943 to 1959.
    Take care,
    Tina

    Perhaps you could use a computer program to have the wrinkles and devastation removed–like the cigarettes!

    I wish I could have a time machine and go back to 1939 and prevent the mistakes – hahaha – wouldn't that be fun!
