For Thursday, April 1, 2010: Rare Footage of Sharon's Funeral, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and a Great Review of "Valley of the Dolls"

Rare sad footage from Sharon's funeral.  You can see how Roman was destroyed emotionally by her death.  It also shows the funeral footage of Abigail Folger, Steve Parent and Jay Sebring:

Recently I asked one of the stars of "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" Cynthia Myers, if she knew Sharon?

Myers: I lived just above her on Benedict Canyon back then. I heard the dogs barking in a very eerie way "that" night, almost in a frenzied way. I woke up my fiance and told him that something was wrong--I could feel it. That was the night of the murders. In addition, I left my ring at Jay Sebring's house a few weeks earlier--it was a gift from Eddie Fisher--his wedding ring from Liz Taylor. After I read the news of the murders I never tried to retrieve my ring...horrible. I never met Sharon in person, I just knew Jay.

I asked her about Jay as well but she said she really didn't want to talk about it.  Sad situation.

And here is a great review of "Valley of the Dolls" now on DVD.  It also reviews the special features included:
