“Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone”


Edith Webster was an actress who performed on stage in theaters. She was performing in Baltimore, and, while singing her swan song “Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone”, collapsed and died, both in the play, and in real life. She had suffered a heart attack at the exact moment her character was meant to collapse and die. Obviously, the audience thought it was part of the act and applauded, unknowingly, at both her death, and the stagehands call for help, thinking it was part of the play.
…gosh what a way to go but what a story!! Kind of cool, if I could select a way to go this might be it BUT at the ripe, old, healthy age of say… 3055?? Yep.
