OBITUARY Lee came from a tiny town in the southwest. The only child of a truckstop waitress (who was committed to the state asylum and who shortly thereafter succumbed to an aneurism brought on a by a particularly violent psychotic episode) and a father unknown (rumoured to be a trucker passing through) was forced to fend for herself at the tender age of 14. Not wanting to end up like her mother, she decided to seek fame and fortune in Hollywood. According to her diary (found next to her body), she hitched rides all the way to Los Angeles paying her way with the only currency she had — her body. Like so many other young people who make their way to the "boulevard of broken dreams," her hopes of ending up a star would never be realized. She did end up in movies, but not the type she had dreamt of. With meager funds she earned from her "blue" movies she purchased headshots and the occasional acting lesson. Shortly after this photo was taken she was found dead from an apparent suicide in her pay-by-the-week motel room by her roommate and her co-star in films who did not want to be identified. She leaves no survivors and there will be no funeral service.
