“There Are So Many” – Dialogue
Hannah Green: James will know about George Sanders.
James Leer: George Sanders?
Hannah Green: Mr. Crabtree was saying how George Sanders killed himself, only he couldn’t remember how.
James Leer: Pills. April 25, 1972, in a Costa Brava hotel room.
Terry Crabtree: How comprehensive of you.
Hannah Green: James is amazing. He knows all the movie suicides. Go ahead, James. Tell him.
James Leer: There are so many.
Hannah Green: Well, just a few. The big ones.
James Leer:
Pier Angeli, 1971 or ’72, also pills
Donald “Red” Barry, shot himself in 1980
Charles Boyer, 1978, pills again
Charles Butterworth, 1946, I think. In a car. Supposedly, it was an accident, but, you know, he was distraught
Dorothy Dandridge, pills, 1965
Albert Dekker, 1968. He hung himself. He wrote his suicide note in lipstick on his stomach
William Inge, carbon monoxide, 1973
Carole Landis, pills again. I forget when
George Reeves, “Superman” on TV, shot himself
Jean Seberg, pills, of course, 1979
Everett Sloane – he was good – pills
Margaret Sullavan, pills
Lupe Velez, a lot of pills
Gig Young, he shot himself and his wife in 1978
There are tons more
Hannah Green: I haven’t heard of half of them.
Terry Crabtree: You did them alphabetically.
James Leer: It’s just how my brain works, I guess.
