Shocking And So Sad: Celebrities Who Ended It All

James Whale

James is best remembered for 1930s horror films, including Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, The invisible Man, and others. He also directed films such as “Show Boat”. Remarkably, James was an openly homosexual man throughout his career in the British theater and in Hollywood, something that was virtually unheard of in the 1920s and 1930s.

After suffering from some medical issues that left him in pain, Whale drowned himself in a swimming pool.
