Also, in the original article he talked about following her up the bell tower and looking up her dress (anyone remember that?) That part somehow didn't make it into this condensed version of the article. I believe the original article also mentioned the view from the bell tower to "Old Queens Road" or some such thing. I recognized this a couple years later when she did that odd segment for some show about veterans (or something??) where she read the weird poem about her movie star view and Old Queens (or was it Kings?) Road.
I remember this clearly because this was back in the pre-Youtube/internet days when interviews and press were scarce because she really was at the darkest depths of her career. So random press like this was all we had to hang on to. She just seemed so odd, but now we know she was lost in the Klonopin haze!

Yes you are correct. Good memory. I also don't remember the 4 abortions but she does go into detail at her disgust for Don for how he outed her. He put the 4 abortions part in the headline so what the hell?
I seem to remember his comments he added before each segment where he sort of dissed her. Its a sad article but you have to put it in perspetive. It was 1992, she fought her record company about doing a Bon Jovi song and she did it with protest and it still turned out to be a flop. She had a fight with Mick and quit Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac was sort of toast back then too. So from her perspective she could have thought her career was over and it was time to spill the beans. She was heavily tranquilized so she revealed everything......probably too much. However he was a jerk about it because he could have put a positive spin on the article but he chose not to and called her flaky. In her state, he could have been honest too and was reporting what he saw. This was one year before she crashed into the fireplace Her marriage to Kim parts were incredibly crazy.
