Spider Sabich's deadly liaison with Claudine Longet

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

We Both Reached For the Gun

Bump

Not to say it couldn't be the inspiration for a good film, but few people with even the dimmest memory of the event 48 years ago, would give a rat's ass to see this.

Those who do want to swim in the waters of way past prime celebrities and "accidental" deaths might better content themselves with old Hart to Hart episodes.

The comedy sketch has been done...

It was a big deal at the time, but like other posters have said, does anyone really care now?

Wonder if she was such a spitfire when she was with Andy Williams.

If they made it now, they would make Claudine sympathetic

A Sabich tribute film was screened for friends and contemporaries of his last year but probably won't be made public.

[quote]More than four decades later, the wounds from Sabich’s shocking death are still fresh to those closest to him, as evidenced by the tears and heavy emotions of the film’s final chapter. Friends recall the tempestuous relationship between Longet and Sabich and the breakup that preceded her shooting him in the stomach.

[quote]“She had a bad temper, which we’d seen may times at dinners and parties where she would upend a table and start yelling about things,” Aspenite Elsa Mitchell says. “I think it was pretty much over, and she had threatened Spider before and threatened him in front of us, what she would do if he looked at another woman. Then it came true.”

"at dinners and parties where she would upend a table and start yelling about things,”

Today she'd be on Real Housewives

Great idea. I'd like to portray Claudine.

Man… or god?
