Unnecessary death storyline


Did anyone else think that her death was unnecessary?

Nothing to lose but our chains, we have a world to win

Not I. Taken out of rehab too early because of her ambitious husband, deprived of said husband's love and driven by him to return to Dallas, the pressure on her increased to the point that she couldn't take it anymore, even after the crowd's tremendous reception of her final performance.

I'm the kind of guy, when I move - watch my smoke. But I'm gonna need some good clothes though.

yeah I was shocked but I don't think it was unnecessary. It made sense for the character. I think the marketing just made this look like a comeback movie, but really it follows her demise.

Watching it a second time, it was easy to catch the clues as to where the story was going.
