EBN- The life of stars is not as some people see or imagine it, as they and happiness are not two sides of the same coin.
The appearance may be laughter, travel and stardom, but the interior holds many secrets, misery and sadness that are hidden by the cheerful life they live. Some people overcome this misery with work and treatment, but stars have it triumph over them, and all their thinking becomes focused on one idea; getting rid of life, so they end their lives with their own hands and write the final word on the page of their age, and commit suicide.
The most recent to take this step was the singer Liam Payne, who recently passed away. Therefore, in the following lines, we review the most prominent stars and artists who ended their lives with their own hands and committed suicide.
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monore is a Hollywood icon and beauty whose career spanned the 1950s and 1960s. She starred in several box office hits, such as The Seven Year Itch (1955), Some Like It Hot (1959), and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953).
Despite her fame and stardom, Monroe suffered from depression and deteriorating mental health, to the point that the makers of Something’s Got to Give had to fire her after she missed several days of work due to her chronic anxiety and depression in the wake of her failed marriages, difficulty having children, and feelings of insecurity about her career. In addition, Monroe was facing professional problems such as her public battles with studio executives, and her dwindling popularity and opportunities.
After several previous suicide attempts, Monroe was found dead in her home in Los Angeles, California, on August 5, 1962, from an overdose of a type of drug used to treat anxiety or sleep disorders.
Robin Williams
Despite being an Oscar-winning comedian who rose to fame in the 1970s, Robin Williams committed suicide. He had been struggling with depression for years, and his suicide was likely a result of his mental health struggles, along with his recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. On August 11, 2014, he was found dead in his home in Tiburon, California. He had hanged himself with a belt from a doorknob.
Dalida
Yolanda Cristina Gigliotti, known as Dalida , is an Egyptian singer and actress of Italian origin, born in 1933 in Cairo. She started singing at the age of seventeen, and quickly became a famous artist in France, until she achieved a successful musical career, releasing more than 130 singles throughout her life, in addition to her credit of starring in many films. Dalida suffered from many psychological problems, such as pregnancy at the age of 22, and a subsequent miscarriage that left her sterile, in addition to having several failed relationships that ended with the suicide of 3 of her loved ones, and her husband as well. The stars suffered from depression and anxiety throughout her life, until she decided on May 3, 1987, to end her life, and she committed suicide at the age of 54.
Jonathan Brandis
Jonathan Brandis has a career that began early as a child model, to becoming a beloved Hollywood star, and ended early at the age of 27. He has appeared in a total of 20 films and television series.
In November 2003, Brandis tragically committed suicide by hanging himself in the hallway of his Los Angeles apartment. Friends of Brandis reported that he had shown signs of depression in the months leading up to his death. He was worried about his career deteriorating, finding it difficult to find new roles and worried about his future. This may have led him to make the sad decision to take his own life.
George Sanders
George Sanders is a famous British actor, who won an Oscar for his role in the movie “All About Eve”, which was the gateway through which he entered his audience. In his later years, he suffered from dementia, depression and anxiety, especially after the death of his daughter in 1970, just 3 days after her birth, in addition to other physical ailments, including a stroke, which was not the cause of his death, as suicide was the cause after he committed it in 1972, leaving behind a suicide note that said: “Dear world, I am leaving because I am tired. I feel that I have lived long enough. I leave you with your worries in this sweet swamp. Good luck.”
