** Pump Action Gerbil ** was asking me last night about celebrity OD’s. He asked if I could think of many women besides Janis. And I drew a blank.
So…it’s OD’ing when you’re rich and famous mostly a guy thing? Who am I forgetting?
according to imdb Marilyn Monroe also od’d

I think she’s someone you may have forgotten
Judy Garland
Dorothy Dandridge
Inger Stevens
Mary Frann
Dana Plato
Margaux Hemingway
Jean Seberg
Paula Yates
Bridgitte Andersen
Lupe Velez
Elisa Bridges (Playboy Playmate)
Didn’t Billie Holiday OD?
And I believe Dana Plato was more of a suicide, not really a conventional OD. Don’t know about the others.
Accidental or intentional wasn’t specified.
Several of the ones I mentioned are believed to have been intentional.
Perhaps it is telling in some way about the feminine experience of fame that almost all of those women died 25+ years ago?
Or perhaps not.
