Hi again. When I saw the movie, I thought Val Klimar did a good expression of jim, at least his body movements and dance, which was a lot like Jim's. Pamela was a lot worse than the film showed her to be, and you are right, Pams family were going to sue Oliver Stone if he made Pam look like a drug addict, which she was. After Jims death, she even turned to selling her body for drug money. Pretty bad.
Jim did not die in the bath tub, and I will be happy to explain to you how he died.
I will try to make it brief so it all fits in here! Jim and Pam were staying in the Paris flat, and Pam was doing Heroin alot. Jim did not approve of her doing it, in fact he hated it! They would often get into fights over her use of the drug.
Well, Jim came home one night, and found Pam sitting in front of a table with a pile of white powder. He asked Pam what it was, and Pam, fearing another fight from Jim, lied and told him it was cocaine, which Jim did like to use once in awhile. So he bent down, and took a long snort of it. But it was Heroin! Long story short, Jim grabbed his chest, and dropped to the floor, face first.
Pam freaked out, ran across the hallway and got her friend, they put jim in a tub of warm water, which is what you do to herion overdose victims. But it was too late. Jim was gone. Pam had him put in a sealed coffin as fast as she could, no one that knew Jim even saw his body.
Pam was so cheap, she paid hardly nothing for the coffin, in fact, the flowers cost more than jims coffin. (I guess she wanted drug money more!) Some people say that Pam paid off the doctors in Paris so they would not do an autopsy on Jim.
As far as knowing Jim is dead? I have seen his spirit, and so has my husband, and daughter. We have seen Jim throw things and even heard his voice. Before his death, I met Jim first in 1968 and then again in 1970 for a short interview for eye magazine.
I wish with all my heart that Jim was alive, he was a great man, not the drugged out drunk that many make him out to be. I miss him and long for the day I will meet with him again in the after life.
