The Thanksgiving Death of Karyn Kupcinet
Manage episode 384904424 series 3372828
Sixty years ago in the early morning hours of Thanksgiving 1963, 22-year-old Karyn Kupcinet lay dead in her West Hollywood apartment. The daughter of prominent Chicago couple Essee and Irv Kupcinet, Karyn had been living in LA to pursue her dreams of stardom. But Karyn was deeply troubled. Not even her own family knew just how far her depression reached. Addicted to a variety of pills, obsessed with a man who did not return her feelings of love, struggling to make it big in show business...it seemed obvious to her closest friends that Karyn had died by suicide. However, as we all know, things aren't always what they seem...
