Armendariz reportedly "took courage" from Hemingway's act and was thus inspired to do it himself. Ian Fleming, who liked and admired Armendariz very much, and was himself suffering from heart disease, "took courage" from Armendariz's decision and, while not exactly committing suicide, immediately resumed smoking and drinking in the prodigious quantities that got him sick in the first place. So, one can draw (at least) a dotted-line connection from Hemingway's suicide to Armendariz's suicide to Fleming's abandonment of any life-preserving behavior he had previously adopted.<br /><br />DAMN YOU, ERNEST HEMINGWAY!!! :-)<br /><br />Anyway, I enjoyed your post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
