Due to alcoholism, prescription drug abuse and non-prescription drug use, she to imagined many of the things described in this story. We (family members) really do not know if she was self destructive because of the drugs, or if she used the drugs because she was self destructive. Her life span was 1929 through 1980. Everything was between her ears.
Is hypnosis even real?

The first was just a recorder, though, so I’m not sure it would qualify as an “answering machine.” 1935 saw the first automatic one, which becam popular with Orthodox Jews who couldn’t answer the phone on the Sabbath, and the first sold in the USA was in 1960. According to About.com, at least.

I think NBC stole a bit of the story for a recent show with Christian Slater. Never watched it, but from the commercials, it seems he played a guy with a split personality. One was a mild-mannered family man, and the other a government agent/spy/assassin. I think the show bombed, though, so I’m not sure if it’s still on. I think it came out late last year.

Women were submissive then and that made her an easy mark, but my mom did say with out a doubt that she had gone mad.

as she travled back and forth to Russia, and she said it drove her mad.

Nice article.
