If I'm honest I dont remember her In the film but not a nice way to go all the same.

That's weird, only watched the movie last night on SKYHD. And was thinking if I'd seen her in any other films. She appears near the end when Spiderman & New Goblin are fighting Sandman & Venom.

Shame.

I will never understand why these celebrities, with everything anyone could want, decide that their life isn't worth living. It's hardly like they've got a tough life compared to some!

I don't think any of us really know how they feel. Whilst on the outside it may seem like a 'perfect' life, all is not always as it seems on the inside.

Because despite having huge bank balances, they have the same flaws that everyone else has, multiplied by the intense glare of public scrutiny everywhere they go?

I never did understand why they included a 'very british' TV reporter in at the end.

I'm not saying she isn't human and doesn't have burdens, i'm saying there is usually another way to sort problems out.

I'm not even going to go into the psychology of suicide, because i doubt i can understand it without actually being suicidal, but all i'm saying is she has a much more cushy life that 99.999% of others on this planet and it's just such a waste.

Nope I don't remember her either, but RIP

.

Was it just me that imagined her in a Spider Man costume?

Terrible way to go, and sad when somebody thinks that things are so bad, and so unchangeable, that that's the only way out.

Worse still is the devastation that will be felt by the family

True and even if it was that, surely dropping everything, giving up acting and moving to somewhere where nobody knew who you were would be better than hanging yourself?

RIZZEE · 21 May 2009 at 16:16

Dont remember her
It's a shame
No suicide note or anything?

Oh, you're quite right. She wasn't famous. Of course people who aren't famous don't ever commit suicide? They don't suffer broken relationships or personal tragedies. They don't have mental problems. They are perfect.

:rolleyes:

Generally people who are even considering something like hanging themselves don't think in rational terms. Trying to apply rational logic to it is futile.

If you're depressed you're depressed; it doesn't matter what you have and haven't got. Try it sometime. It's horrible.
