Anne of Green Gables/Trivia
- The Character Died With Her: Marilla (Colleen Dewhurst).
- Suicide: In 1942, sixty-seven-year-old Lucy Maud Montgomery committed suicide by drug overdose. She had suffered from depression and isolation for most of her life.
- Write What You Know: Leslie Moore, the character from Anne's House of Dreams who for ten years is forced to care for a mentally incapacitated husband whom she does not love, must have been fairly close to her creator's heart; Montgomery's husband was mentally ill, suffering several mental breakdowns and becoming addicted to codeine. Montgomery had to care for him for decades.
