Alan Bates sad last days

Joanna Pettet retired from Hollywood after her and Alex Cord's son ODed. Cord had taken and spent every penny she ever had. She settled to live in a trailer in the desert and started growing and selling Marijuana. Her friends from showbiz were horrified and thought the FBI might find her, so they convinced Alan Bates who had been her leading man in the play "poor richard" and was absurdly loyal and generous, to rescue her. She convinced him that they always had been in love (even though she never saw his -huge privates , coz' , y'a know, Alan ...) and that he needed to marry her (who wouldn't be lady Bates said she). But Alan was otherwise engaged. He had a very young and very beautiful bf who put a stop to this madness. But Joanna nevertheless arrived in London with everything she possessed -blanche dubois style, and started blanche dubois-ing the place. Until the bf told her to fuck off. Alan was very ill and needed calm. When she understood that there would be no marriage, she asked for a pay off or she would call the tabloids. When Alan was at the London clininc, she blacklisted the bf. She got 150 k. and played nurse for the press (and companion), when the bf had devoted himself to Alan the whole time. Evil human being

She retired from acting when after making a film in The Philippines! The incident there involved terrorists and a kidnapping. That was in 1990 and her son died in 1995. Alan Bates' son was fine with Joanna being taken care of after Bates had died.
