Chronic pain in very draining, not only physically, but also mentally!!!! I was only 31 when my accident happened and I am 46 now. I can understand why she would want to die, but I don't agree. I also suffer from severe depression and anxiety my whole life. I will say that my complete faith, trust and love for my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS has gotten me through the most toughest times of my life.

Seems she was lucky to have a fairly steady line up of small parts and since she was not terribly young or terribly beautiful by the time she was in the film industry that would be expected. Suicide is a choice. She was in her 70's with multiple health problems and she died peacefully in her own home. I hope such an ending for all of us.vivalaletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571473849115759096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-1410192110462516282011-10-04T22:12:14.513-07:002011-10-04T22:12:14.513-07:00Clara Blandick also played delightful bit parts as...Clara Blandick also played delightful bit parts as an employment service office worker, Miss Wiggins, in William Powell's "Life With Father," and as Aunt Mattie in the original version of, "A Star is Born," Starring Janet Gaynor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-9313248011698927632011-01-30T19:42:48.338-08:002011-01-30T19:42:48.338-08:00This was an awesome profile!
