Medic1954
Dr. Konrad Styner:
Our actual case history tonight concerns the field of internal medicine. The object in point, a death certificate. The case in point, Laurie Marie Allen. Nineteen years old, young, beautiful, alive. Out to make a mark for herself in the world of show business. Strong-willed, she was well prepared to gain the ultimate end - stardom. Everyone and everything was working in her favor until the very last moment, and then fate stepped in. And Laurie Allen's dream of glory turned, retreated, and gradually then suddenly vanished into the indefinite world from whence it came. For as dusk settled over a chill late September afternoon in the City of New York in the year of 1947, death came to Laurie Allen, one of he decade's most promising young ballerinas. Everyone knew the cause of her death. It was published fact, there was no question about it. But one man refused, still refuses, to accept the simple wording on the death certificate. His name is Joseph Bailey, feature writer for a New York City daily paper. From the moment he stood in the funeral parlor and viewed the mortal remains of Laurie Allen, the question kept recurring in his mind - Why was she dead, what was the real answer?
