A declassified government memo in 2018 revealed that Cabot was invited by the CIA to a party with King Hussein of Jordan, who was in Los Angeles on a trip and desired female company. While she did not necessarily wish to accomplish the CIA goal of "go to bed with him", she went to the party and evidently found him charming.

Cabot soon had a seven-year affair with King Hussein of Jordan (which the CIA was aware of) and their only child, Timothy Scott, was born out of wedlock in 1964. She received $1500 in monthly support from Hussein. In 1968, she married her second husband Michael Roman with whom she raised Timothy, before again divorcing in 1983

In the last years of her life, Cabot suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts, and was prey to a wide range of irrational, powerful fears. She was under a licensed psychologist's care, but the psychologist found her so troubled and ill that the sessions became "emotionally draining."

Cabot became increasingly unable to care for herself; the interior of her home was littered with spoiled food and old newspapers.

In late 1986, Cabot's mental health deteriorated significantly. Despite the squalor of the home's interior, Cabot still maintained an "adequate" income despite having retired from acting, largely due to real estate investments and her fascination with vintage cars, which she regularly acquired, restored, and resold.[11] Death

On December 10, 1986, Cabot's 22-year-old son, Timothy Scott Roman, bludgeoned her to death in her home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, with a weightlifting bar.

He was charged with second-degree murder

At trial, Roman testified that his mother had awakened him while screaming, not recognizing him, and calling for her mother, Elizabeth. When he attempted to call emergency services, she attacked him with a barbell bar and a scalpel. Roman seized the bar from her and beat her repeatedly on the head

Polish actress Krystyna Janda. (look her up!)

The original Superman. Sad. And he seemed like a genuinely nice person too like even beyond Hollywood standards.

I wouldn't say unluckiest - just a very unfortunate blank mantle year after year - after year after year.

She is known to all - I don't need to say her name, do I?

Whoever you're think - let's just say you're CLOSE!

Taylor Kitsch was so pretty in his day.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. They were on top of the world and thought themselves invincible. Now look at them.

Peak Schadenfreude.

Taylor Kitsch is fine and all, but he doesn’t have IT.

R2 - Why him?

R29 He certainly had IT back in the "Covenant" days.

William Holden had a bad end. The post listing Jeffrey Hunter made me think of it.

Gretchen Mol

Michael 0'Hare of Babylon 5.

Tom Villard

R33 Was she unlucky? Or untalented?

Forget that bullshit about Harvey and the Vanity Fair cover. Gretchen Mol has had an excellent career many actresses would envy.

R24 I looked her up and still don't get it.

Barbara. Homeless lady under the 110 freeway overpass. She moved to Los Angeles from Michiganian 1983 and had two auditions ever.

R37 she had an ok career but that cover doomed her as Harvey had her convinced she was the next superstar. Unfortunately for her, the public was not convinced.

The “Showgirls” film castmembers.

Skreech

Malcolm Jamal Warner

Todd Newton. Once thought to be on the verge of hosting superstardom but was completely usurped by Ryan Seacrest. Rumored drug and alcohol problem combined with an addiction to tattoos. He's only 55 but he's morphed into TPIR's Rod Roddy.

Health tragedies:

Elizabeth Montgomery

James Gandolfini

Chadwick Boseman
