It seems a lot of men enjoyed a "special friendship" with this chick.

Do you think it will come out (tangible evidence) that HKS was actually pimping her out to wealthy and powerful men, as has been implied? I wouldn't be shocked at all. It's been said before, but it was a way of keeping her flush, busy and under control until such miraculous time as a settlement would FINALLY come out of the J. Howard Marshall estate debacle. I mean, there was bound to be SOMETHING awarded to her, though certainly not the exact amount that was/is in dispute.

Could be that she did have Lupus and that added to her abuse of prescription drugs. Makes sense to me even if none of my pals with lupus ever took methadone for it.

Pimped out? You think so? Nawwwwwww! (of course this is what HKS did, why else did she need him in her life?)

I can be really naive sometimes about matters like that. Even with my dubious contact with even more dubious former friend, I didn't pick up on that until after she died. Having the career she had, one would think she'd have enough money to live the lifestyle she was living. Silly me. On the other hand, I get a very clear call girl vibe off of a lot of Hollywood "actresses."

The yacht was a back-up plan:
If the OD didn't work he could always take her out on the boat, faaar away from shore, dump her, and call it a drowning accident.

No doubt there was something really *off* about the purchase of that boat IMO ....

I think it was more about being even further out of the reach of U.S. jurisdiction than even the Bahamas were.

With her "luck" they'd probably have been attacked by high-seas pirates.

Word is he was out test driving it when she died.

Nice alibi.
