After reading Donald Bogle's biography of Dorothy, I realized that a lot of people have a lot to answer for. All the people that professed to love her turned their backs on her when she was down. She should never have been allowed to die alone.

Why didn't someone take her in, care for her? As for Harold Nicholas, he should carry that guilt until the day he dies, for the way that he not only treated Dorothy, but for the way he discarded his daughter who lives in a state institution till this day.

This lovely lady did not have to die as she did. Others share in responsibility. Her neglectful mother, her jealous sister Vivian, whom Dorothy had not seen in 20 years, her "good friends". What an awful end to a beautiful lady.
