What is wrong with knowing your beautiful and knowing that your beauty is your credit score? Why do women get shamed when they know they are beautiful and use it in a society that worships youth and beauty? Esp in Hollywood. She was no narcissist, she was smart as much as she was lovely.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

if you look at any suicide though the family and friends always say that they don't know why they committed suicide that there was no warning signs that the deceased had actually seemed happier than ever right before the suicide. Sometimes family even starts conspiracy theories saying the suicides were murderers even though there's no evidence of murder and all the evidence points towards suicide. This is such a well-documented phenomenon that any psychologist will tell you that people who are going to commit suicide don't tell you they're going to commit suicide because they don't want to be stopped and they seem happier than ever right before their suicides because they are saying goodbye to the world and they finally made a decision to end their own life. The VAST majority of the time suicide comes as a shock to the family and friends. So her family and friends saying that there was no way she would commit suicide really means nothing. The family and friends never know that a family member is about to commit suicide. If they did know wouldn't you think they'd force their family member to get help? What kind of family and friends knows a family member wants to kill themselves and does nothing to help them??? Not to mention the fact as it says further on the documentary Maria I just had a new baby and back then they didn't know what postpartum depression was. They didn't know how all-consuming and serious and dangerous it could be. From the outside looking in everyone's like she just had this new baby how could she possibly have killed herself when in reality it was very common back then for women to be incredibly depressed after the birth of a new baby and it is still common nowadays only now doctors and friends and family lookout for it so they get their loved one treatment. Just because she had had a new baby doesn't mean there's no possible way she committed suicide in fact, I would argue that makes it more likely that she did commit suicide.

[@SteviRee]

You make really good points, not to mention that there’s such a stigma against suicide, especially in religious families.

[@destinyclark4133]

@@SteviRee Not true. My family and I are believers of God yet we still believe in therapy and couples counseling. Things like that mixed with uplifting scriptures and supporting family members can really make a difference in suicidal people.

[@skyeblu1722]

This comment is valid speculation, however zero facts to back it up…Apparently her heart fails in the hot salt water bath…perhaps she was on diet pills or a smoker and exercised obsessed…..I sense we will never know the full truth… also her daughter was 6, not a newborn!

I read that she had capacities to predict the future or a sensitive; she predicted to her husbant; her cook also was a fortune- teller and made her prediction. So she could have wrote having in mind that without commiting suicide.

[@vivianplocharczyk8255]

Dana Wynn/ You haven't lived in south Florida, where sadly, a lot of women only hold that playing card in their deck. There's certainly more to life than that. "Oh....don't hate me because I'm beautiful". Vanity is a short run and an early death if your committed.

[@GROOVYJOJO]

My guess (opinion) is she committed suicide. People with small childen do commit suicide. Her beauty was like the air she breathed. She was beautiful and im glad2 watch as i can't recall knowing of her. I think growing old she wd have been beautiful FOR HER AGE and no woman wants to hear that. But she could have enjoyed her money..written a book..travelled. but once youth is gone it does not return again. Like toyland.rip

[@GROOVYJOJO]

Oh i forgot raise her family.

[@skyeblu1722]

I guarantee she did not commit suicide….Many people cannot and should not take baths that hot…I have a young friend who passed out from a hot bath and couldn’t be revived but eventually was…Maria may have fallen asleep in the hot tub too…

[@terriseaton3049]

Who does want to get old? If Montez dressed expensively before becoming an actor, where did the $ come from?

[@forthdimension686]

#1 Her dad was a politician, #2 her first husband a wealthy banker, #3 she was beautiful and knew how to finesse.

[@lioness7582]

A fast way to age and dry out your skin is to take long hot baths,and with salt! what was she trying to do brine herself?I'm surprised she didn't notice,quick showers and lotion yourself before you dry off,she should have just found some form of exercise.,I don"t see a suicide here,sounds like she had some sort of medical problem and drown,I wish it talked about what became of her husband and daughter.

[@sarahholland2600]

Drowned due to mixing drugs & booze prob. The studio doled out Speed for weight loss like it was candy back then. Judy Garland was on it from age 12 for her weight.

[@vivianplocharczyk8255]

Yes, as her niece Raina Paris said, a lot of relatives from the paternal side of the family died at a young age from a heart attack, maybe something they inherited, and MM was a smoker too, so it was not a good combination.

A woman obsessed with her own face definitely would kill herself before she’s 40 especially back in the 1940’s and 50’s.Her first film failure I think made her feel like she wasn’t as hot as she used to be.From men dying to put her in movies to not even getting paid for staring in a film had to hit her very hard.

I think many times the word "Beautiful" is used too casually. For me, beauty is rare. In my opinion, there is only one actress that has ever held such a title. Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) was the epitome of beauty and radiated that inside and out. Also the singer Sade Adu in her prime was the epitome of a sensual, rare beauty, inside and out. Maria whatshername was a Hollywood dime a dozen pretty face who died of vanity. The end...

[@marciballoons]

Norma was not the epitome of beauty, since she had multiple cosmetic procedures. Beautiful inside? She broke many marriages and was named as the "other woman" in divorce suits. She was filthy, and slept on top of half eaten plates of food in bed.
