18. Aunty Em Took her Own Life
Clara Blandick, the actress who played Dorothy’s Aunty Em, suffered from severe arthritis and impeding blindness in her later years. At the age of 81, she commited suicide in 1962 by overdosing with pills. Her suicide note read, “I am now about to make the great adventure. I cannot endure this agonizing pain any longer. It is all over my body. Neither can I face the impending blindness. I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen.” Sadly, Judy Garland also died from an overdose seven years later, when she was just 47 years old.
