Lovely pics of Olive Thomas, ladystardust and lucyinthesky. Doing a little research, I have more accurate info on the death of Miss Thomas. Actually, she was Mrs. Pickford, married to Mary's brother, Jack. Story goes, on the night of Sept. 20, 1920, the Pickfords went out for a night of entainment & partying at the famous bistros in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris. Returning to their room at the Hotel Ritz around 3 AM, Pickford either fell asleep or was outside the room for a final round of drugs. It was rumored that Thomas may have taken cocaine that night though it was never proven. An intoxicated & tired Thomas accidentally ingested a large dose of a mercury bichloride liquid solution which had been prescribed for her husband's chronic syphllis. Being liquid, it was supposed to be applied topically, not ingested. She had either thought the flask contained drinking water or sleeping pills, accounts vary. The label was in french which may have added to the confusion. She screamed, "Oh my God!", and Pickford ran to pick her up in his arms. However, it was too late, she had already ingested a lethal dose. She was taken to the American Hospital in the Paris suburg of Neuilly, where Pickford together with her former in-law Owen Moore, remained at her side until she succumbed to the poison a few days later. Soon after her death, rumors began that she tried to commit suicide or had been murdered. A police investigation followed as well as an autopsy & Thomas' death was ruled accidental.View attachment 503508 Source: wikipedia.org (Painting by Vargas)
