fforest Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Well if you look at how fast Anne was going (and how well she was driving) I would say there was a fair chance she could not stop....Drunk I think not...This looks more like a person hanging on for dear life not a sloppy drunk...

I don’t know what to say….Was she really THAT messed up on booze/pills, was it (gulp) intentional? I see stupid drivers doing stupid things daily, but 85 mph in a Mini Cooper in a residential area with homes on both sides? Takes a while just to get up to that speed, AND also to stop, unfortunately. I always liked her, especially in Donnie Brasco. The whole Ellen thing got her blackballed for a while, apparently. Plus she’s had most of her immediate family die prematurely, cant find the link but it’s lots of people. Add in the alleged abuse by her Dad, I guess the lady lived in pain. Still, what a way to go….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you're getting at "This looks more like a person hanging on for dear life". Maybe not drunk, but quite probably high on drugs.

He co-starred in the show Leave it to Beaver. In 1983, when I was stationed in Okinawa, I ran into him on BC Street. Literally, ran into him as he was exiting a souvenir shop with his wife. We spoke for a moment, he was touring with Fonzie and the rest of the USO show. He seemed like a nice guy. https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/tony-dow-dead-wally-cleaver-leave-it-to-beaver-1235326146/ Some serious memories there.....

Golfingboy Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This man’s peak years happened before I was even born. But I always read he should have won way more big tournaments. All the talent in the world, long hitter, but had an extremely short fuse, one bad bounce could ruin his day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
