That certainly was true by 1973–or even 1970. But the washing hair vignette is beautifully ambiguous. He may have wanted an intimate, maternal touch, and Christine was an ideal (“Perfect”) figure to give that to him. In that sense, he knew enough to find someone to care for him. It’s an odd memory, but potentially a lovely one.
