Inside North Korea: Water park, sacred birth site and some minders. Whatever eccentricity or vanity existed in her life, in her work as an actor there was none. She was willing to go for it, to be raw, to be ugly and to expose herself emotionally. She took the antibiotic Biaxin, migraine pills, cough medicine and an over-the-counter nasal spray.
The day she died, she had also taken an anti-depression drug fluoxetine, aka Prozac , an anti-seizure drug Klonopin , an anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone and a beta blocker that Simon gave her, as well as Vicoprofen to ease pain from her period.
But Brittany kept getting sicker, and her laryngitis during her final 10 days was the worst of her life. She was also weakened by her period — the second in a month — which was causing anemia that cut her red-blood count to a quarter of normal. On her final night, Brittany was gasping for breath, her lips turning blue from a lack of oxygen as her lungs filled with fluid. Despite her problems, Brittany had not seen a doctor for six weeks, though she consulted by phone a few times and had talked to a pharmacist.
Late Friday afternoon of her final weekend, she made a doctor appointment for Monday. She never got there. Being sick had become something Brittany just accepted.
They were always afraid the paparazzi would find out if they were seen as sick and that it would hurt their job prospects in Hollywood. It was also why Brittany used false names to hide her identity at the pharmacy. He confronted Simon in August and told them to take their business elsewhere.
Bubar said he feared they were being overmedicated, though he never imagined it would have such dire consequences. Simon and Sharon, he said, got drugs under their own names. But Brittany preferred an alias: Lola Manilow, which Bubar was aware of. He stoked that paranoia and used it to gain control over Brittany in a surprisingly short time. Then came her whirlwind romance with Simon, ignited when she phoned him from Tokyo in early while making The Ramen Girl to say how much she liked his script for The White Hotel , based on the D.
Thomas novel. They agreed to meet when she returned to L. The following week, he followed her to New York, where she was doing publicity for a movie. From then on, Simon never slept a night away from her, except for nine days he was incarcerated by U. Immigration Services for an expired visa. Brittany saw the stocky Englishman with the sexy accent and deep voice as he portrayed himself: a wealthy, educated, cultured filmmaker.
He had been born in the affluent London suburb of Hillingdon and grew up in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire. He died six years later when Simon was 15, an event his mother, Linda Monjack, says left her son devastated. After that, she says, her son began to exaggerate and at times seemed unable to separate fact from fiction. Simon went to film school at NYU and found some success as a photographer and music video director but faltered in his debut as a filmmaker, Two Days, Nine Lives , financed by his family.
While there was some inherited family money, his mother says Simon ran through it long before he met Brittany. He still told her he was heir to a fortune and was able to impress her with his knowledge of art and knack for languages and music. His mother says he had a photographic memory. He also had no problem spinning tales to get his way with women on both sides of the Atlantic, leaving a trail of broken hearts, unpaid bills and angry fiancees.
I believe he is sick and lies continuously, defrauding people, hurting people including his own family.
He himself has admitted this to me. Finally fed up, Golub investigated Simon and confronted him. She was in love and fiercely loyal. After the late George Hickenlooper, director of Factory Girl , went public with criticism of Simon for claiming he produced that film he really got his credit in a legal settlement , there was a late-night call from Brittany, with whom he had been friends.
Despite the evidence, Brittany believed Simon would provide financial security, help revive her career and allow her to fulfill her dream of being a mother.
