Were you aware that Richard, her brother, was partly responsible for her death? He told her that she was putting on too much weight, hence anorexia.

Who really knows? I remember back in the 80’s after her death in 1983, it was reported to be the pressures of fame.

If the media can be believed (?), all she really wanted was to be happily married and have a family.

Whatever the reason, we can still listen to that beautiful voice of hers.

Anorexia and a heart attack so l heard such a shame and so young too.They made a movie about her.

That's why you don't listen to anything anyone tells you to do, use your own brain
