George Sanders was a Russian-born English film and television actor, singer-songwriter, music composer, and author. Some Hollywood deaths are bizarre because of tragic circumstances. Others are bizarre because of unfortunate accidents. Sometimes, it’s a combination of the two. The death of George Sanders is a different story altogether. Born in Russia to British parents, George Henry Sanders’ family returned to England at the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. After attending college, Sanders made the move into acting. He appeared in several British films before making the trip to Hollywood in the mid-‘30s. Sanders’ suave manners and plummy speaking voice made him an instant go-to choice for directors seeking either a classy gent or a charming villain, and he appeared in a number of now-classic films including Rebecca, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and All About Eve, for which he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1950. Professionally successful, Sanders’ personal life was more checkered. He married multiple times, most of the time unhappily, and most famously to Hungarian sexpot Zsa Zsa Gabor. Sanders developed a drinking problem, and as he entered his 60s, his health began to deteriorate. Dogged by awareness of his increasing infirmity, enfeebled by a stroke, and losing his taste for life, Sanders checked into a hotel in Spain, where he overdosed on barbiturates—five bottles of them—and dashed off one of the most famous suicide notes in history: “Dear World, I am leaving you because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.” A second note to his sister observed “Don’t be sad. I have only anticipated the inevitable by a few years.” A man who had four colorful wives, a successful Hollywood career, a bestselling autobiography, and an Academy Award dies from boredom? George Sanders either had the most bizarre Hollywood death of all. He died April 25, 1972 at the age of 65.

Marie Prevost was a Canadian-born film actress. Modern audiences tend to look back upon movie stars of an earlier age as somehow simpler and more innocent, untainted by the temptations and setbacks that visit contemporary celebrities. Anyone who investigates the back pages of an earlier Hollywood is sure to find that this isn’t the case. Take the story of Marie Prevost. Born in Canada, Mary Bickford Dunn moved to L.A. and made her movie debut in 1916. A couple of years later, she was signed on as one of Mack Sennett’s “Bathing Beauties.” No doubt dismayed by the similarity of her given name to one of the biggest stars in Hollywood (Mary Pickford), the comedy of Svengali renamed her Marie Prevost, “The Exotic French Girl.” The rechristened beauty moved on to many starring roles as the ‘20s quintessential brazen and independent female, the flapper. She appeared in a series of romantic comedies made by some of the biggest directors of the time, including Cecil B. DeMille and Ernst Lubitsch, and her career seemed to be on an upward trajectory. Circumstances halted the rising star, however. Her marriage to leading man Kenneth Harlan began to fail, and her mother was killed in a car crash. Prevost began to drink, and her slim flapper body lost its shape. The industry’s transition to sound affected almost every actor who had been a star in the silent era, and Prevost was lumped into this group of former silent stars. Her drinking increased, and by the early 30s, she was lucky to play bit parts. Desperate to recover some of her former glamor, Prevost began to diet dangerously. This, combined with her ongoing alcohol problem, could only lead to disaster. On January 23, 1937, neighbors irritated by the barking of a dog in Prevost’s apartment called the police. What the police found shocked them: the malnutritioned corpse of Marie Prevost, her legs and arms chewed up by her traumatized dog. Years later, pop singer Nick Lowe would somewhat indelicately memorialize this discovery in his song “Marie Provost.” The final indignity for the forgotten Marie, he misspelling of her name in the title. She died January 21, 1937 at the age 38.

Tennessee Williams was an American playwright and author of many stage classics, and although a man named Williams was responsible for Sal Mineo’s death, another man named Williams was responsible for the launch of his career: Tennessee Williams.The Rose Tattoo provided Mineo with his first role on stage. (Natalie Wood was no stranger to Williams, either. She starred with Robert Redford in This Property Is Condemned, a Williams adaptation from 1966, as well as in a TV version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with her husband Robert Wagner in 1976. Of course, appearing in a Tennessee Williams play in the latter half of the 20th Century was certainly not unusual. Williams dominated the theater scene of the period, and he remains one of the most popular and respected playwrights in American letters, 30 years after his death. Active as a writer from the ‘30s until the ‘80s, he produced dozens of plays, two of which won the Pulitzer Prize, and many of which were made into successful Hollywood films: The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, Sweet Bird of Youth, and The Night of the Iguana among them. Despite often controversial themes, the films made from Williams’ plays were popular hits and featured some of the biggest stars of the day, including Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor. Despite his success, Williams’ life was troubled and unstable. After the death of his long-time partner Frank Merlo in 1963, Williams became dependent on prescription drugs and sleeping pills. Alcohol abuse added to his woes, and his mental health declined. Inevitably Williams was discovered dead in his New York hotel suite. Drugs were involved, to no one’s surprise, but the actual cause of death was asphyxiation. One theory is that Williams was attempting to swallow some barbiturates, and he accidentally dropped a cap from an eye drops bottle that he was using as a pill holder down his throat. Another is that Williams was holding the cap in his mouth as he put in eye drops and somehow swallowed it. Whatever happened, Williams could not have scripted a more absurd or hapless end for one of his own characters. He died Fubruary 25, 1983 at the age of 71.

Vincent van Gogh was a major Post-Impressionist painter. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness he died at the age of 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted, or was he a murder victim? Most believe that he shot himself while standing in a wheat field about a mile from his home near Paris. Though the bullet missed his vital organs, van Gogh died 30 hours later from an infection caused by the gunshot wound. But new research suggests van Gogh may have been shot by a pair of local youths who had been bullying him. Two clues: the gun van Gogh supposedly used to shoot himself was never found, and when police asked him shortly before he died if he’d tried to kill himself, van Gogh replied “I believe so,” but then cryptically requested that no one be accused of the crime. He died July 27, 1890 at the age of 37.
