Reading Hollywood Babylon am struck at all the suicides, murders (unsolved) and other criminal exercise (including drugs). Knew hard core drugs were around since late 1800's or so, but had no idea so much of Hollywood were dope fiends.

Cool thing, to me anyway is many of the places where various Hollywood stars committed suicide are still around. Wonder if any are haunted?
