Art Linkletter told Leary off without uttering one curse word. BRAVO !!! RIP Diane. 🧡🙏
I think with no drugs found in her system and a guy who has been at the scene of two suspicious deaths makes and makes a movie about a murder I would look a little closer at him.
He's dead
OK in the video his death confirmed. I think this guy got away with murder, they say it gets easier after the first murder 🤔
LSD might not show up after death.
You would not be able to test for LSD so whoever was with her spun that story.
In 1969, they would not be able to detect LSD in her system…the liver metabolizes it very quickly and the tests are very sensitive and not readily available…so, in 1969, they wouldn’t have known if she took it.
I can assure viewers of this channel that Diane did not jump to her death. I knew Diane personally, and in the mid-1960s we were engaged to be married. The details are in my book "Diane Linkletter: A Princess Wrongly Accused."
Then what the heck happened?
@@loganstroganoff1284 In three words, she was pushed.
I remember when I was a little girl, my mother spoke of how Art Linkletters daughter was on drugs and thought she could fly and fell off the building to her death.That was the story back then.
I was born two months before Diane died, and the story your mom told you is the same one my mom told me--but she would tell it with total disgust in her tone.
I was a little girl when this happened too and I remember overhearing my parents discussing this. They talked about her being on LSD and thinking she could fly. I had forgotten until I watched this video. Really brings back memories.
I too remember my mother telling us kids the same story about how she thought she could fly.
I remember my mother said that also.
I remember that too.
Mr Linkletter told that Dr off like any parent would.
Leary might have a point even if insensitive. The parenting must not have been fantastic if the kid was on heroin at 13 years of age.
Art Linkletter was a LIAR
@@brianinglis3805 Guessing you are not a parent.
Tweety Kid - so 3 Dog Night Murdered her.. ?
@@stephaniesanderson6190 How so? Please elaborate further!
So tragic. The pain her dad and probably her whole family went through - you feel it in Art's voice. 🙏❤️
I never heard anyone so roasted as Leary by Linkletter. Boom!!!
There are too many weird things about this "suicide". She made cookies and put the pan of cookies on the counter and then she got up on the counter to get to the window in order to jump from it. And then the other woman died from drowning and she couldn't swim. It is too weird that the same man was with each woman as she died.
I remember my parents talking about this case….Leary was such a douchebag…good on Linkletter for telling him what he was.
Leary had ties to the CIA.His task was to normalize LSD use
But the Gov is at war with drugs......🕷🕸
He had absolutely nothing to do with it. Douchebag or not.
The look on Leary's face was hilarious, I don't think anyone wished him dead to his face. I'm glad art got to rip him though.
Why? Did you know him? Did you know it’s the only drug you can’t OD on? Everyone back then had opinion of a lot of things. Art Linkletter thought a lot of himself. His microscopic opinion of drugs which was personal and I do feel bad about this, because it is bad when you have to deal with a loved one with addiction, but is so focused that his child must have died of drugs that he eschewed evidence and allowed someone to get away with murder.
I couldn’t have loved that more than I already do. For the simple fact that Leary told the father it was his own fault his daughter died as he said it with a chuckle and shit eating grin. I wonder how Diane would have felt hearing this doctor she trusted telling her father that he’s the reason she jumped? I wonder what the truth is… I don’t think she did it willingly.
I’ve always felt there was way more to Diane Linkletter’s death. The supposed witnesses couldn’t see what happened inside the apartment itself. I think something went down and she was either pushed by Ed Durston or she was desperately trying to get away from him. Another great video Scott 😊 👍 keep up the good work
Especially that she was carrying her wallet .
Exactly! If she was committing suicide then why the screaming as the neighbor witnessed ( red flag) not to mention two people alone usally never leave ones sight unless going to the bathroom. She was able to grab a ladder unfold it set it up and climb up to jump out screaming mind you all along where was Ed ? Nope i never believed it was suicide. You and i as well as others felt this wasn't suicide. Whenever drugs are involved with a celebrity death the police assume overdose or suicide. Dam remember the story of Superman i never believed that was a suicide either . Blessings to them .
I agree with you. My thought also was that she was trying to leave, which explains why she had her wallet in her hand at her death.
What was going ON in THAT apartment that would cause her to flee OUT A WINDOW 6 stories high WITH HER WALLET APPARENTLY KNOWING SHE WOULD NOT SURVIVE ~ CHILLING ! What was HIS M.O .associating with a woman allegedly know for taking drugs 🤔 attempting to take advantage is my thought ! But unlucky on BOTH OCCASIONS !
I believe Edward Durtson had something to do with her death. Another woman mysteriously died after having an argument with him.
Can't even imagine how horrific that must of been for her parents. So very sad⚘
Her dad made money off her death, it was his style
@@dadca9705 How so...or is this your speculation? Let's have some examples
It does not get any better than this! Scott is a genius. His ability to create these stories is unmatched. Thank you so much.
Does anyone else think it’s odd that Mr. Durston was with two women who died mysteriously????? I still remember hearing about Carol Wayne’s bizarre death when I was little. I almost want to say that she’d been on a prerecorded episode of Merv Griffin and than when the ten o’clock news came on they reported her death. Scared the crap out of me 😩
I used to work for Merv Griffin..Hollywood could be a scary place, but Merv, a nice man.
@@robinlong1653 he was an excellent host and interviewer. Miss him
@@robinlong1653my step daughters great grandfather was on Merv Griffin because he landed a plane blind. His friend he was flying with (the pilot) had a heart attack and he had to land the plane by himself while being blind 😳
What are the odds of the same person being so closely tied to separate deaths? Dude was seriously sketch.
*drew peterson has entered the chat*
@@daneen2fabulous 😂😂😂
People who took acid trips.
@@robinlong1653 I've taken at least 100 or so of those trips. Never gave me an urge to jump out of a window, though.
@@chrisharris7931 you do realise that not everyone experiences the same trip, so I can’t discount that. I have heard stories of people jumping to their death, because they thought they could fly……
Wow, that was really sad. I remember when that happened. When I was a kid and lived in Southern California, I auditioned for the show "kids say the darndest things." I didn't meet Art Linkletter but I was interviewed by his son Jack Linkletter, which I remember well and I still have the photo that he and his photographer took of me that day, but they didn't choose me because I was a shy little shit gay boy LOL and barely spoke. I was cute as hell though. I have a pretty outrageous sense of humor and always have but I never have been able to laugh at parodies of things like this such as the John Waters movie about Diane Linkletter, I just won't laugh about other people's pain and I can only imagine how painful it was to lose his daughter. Especially after hearing that record you played. Really heartbreaking. I also have to give old Art Linkletter, who was a huge star to us back in the day, props for telling off that turd Timothy Leary. He really very eloquently and accurately tore him to shreds. This was really one of your best.
Leary and that murdering pos boyfriend of Diane's are both burning in hell for there evil deeds leary in particular was especially evil convincing gullible people that lsd was ok and completely safe . Wow Linklater called leary an idiot...lmmfao
@@ernestinemaloy8680 how is acid unsafe ¿?
@@suzyqualcast6269 LSD is one of the most powerful mind-altering chemicals. It can cause violent behavior and suicidal thoughts, also causing people to act impulsively or believe they have superhuman powers. There have been accidental fatalities and suicides, like Linkletter’s daughter. After taking it, people can have ‘flashbacks’ months later.. I witnessed this in a family member.
@@suzyqualcast6269 I had a girlfriend in highschool in the 1970's who tripped only once, and has spent her entire life in mental health facilities. It's not for everyone, and if you're sensitive or artistic (like she was) your odds of having it tip your mind over the edge into insanity are higher.
Well said.
The last, broken voice plea has me in tears. I'm not a mom/parent, but I don't believe anyone can listen to the last 30 seconds and not feel the heartbreak. Thanks Scott. The cry was cathartic.
Did it make you want to call home?
@@fuzzamajumula It made me wish and hope estranged adult children would swallow their pride or hurt feelings or anger, and just call home. Even if they only said 'hi mom' or 'hi dad'.
When someone claims a person was on drugs and jumped but there are no drugs in the body, then you have to question why he lied and if the person actually jumped.
That's what most people with a minimal amount of common sense would say, but if you look at it from a detective's (employed by law enforcement) perspective, A suicide = case open, case shut. Homicide = case open with an investigation to follow & another case added to an already overwhelmed caseload. I'm not trying to justify it by any means, as I totally agree with you, but have seen enough true crime to realize this isn't just something that happened back in the day. Unfortunately, this sort of determination of case mentality lives on to this day. I don't think it's coincidence
the option that provides the least amount of effort & can be applied to the current case situation is more often than not the one that gets chosen.
She was pushed/thrown from her balcony.
Leary seemed to have no concern for Diane death or Art's suffering.
It looks that way, although it's almost impossible to get an idea of what was going on there since it was all taken out of context, and we didn't see the whole interaction, only a few seconds here and there spliced together. I get the strong impression these two guys had sparred previously before this TV show, but don't know it for a fact.
I remember when this happened very well. I was 16 and my parents used this incident to illustrate how dangerous drug use could be. Whether she was high or not, it was terribly sad and such a shock. I agree that Ed Durston may have had something to do Diane's death and Carol Wayne's, too.
wow Durston being at location of two deaths he definitely had something to do with Diane Linklater’s death; kudos for Art telling Leary off; so sad Linklater lost his daughter tragically; we had books and collections of Art’s works when we were growing up
He told off Dr Leary like any parent would thinking LSD had something to do with her killing herself. I think they should have been looking at that Durstan dude. No drugs in her system, and they still thought Acid had something to do with her death? Great detective work. Also, what about that album with his daughter......making a buck off a tragic situation, nice father.
@@gmazz0913 that record was made with his Daughter before she died.
@@gmazz0913 The record was made before she died.
@@gmazz0913 Leary certainly led many to falsly believe the experience from LSD was something more people should experience , so he should have been held accountable for such ill advice. I speak from the experience of being one of the teens who tried it and had a very bad and dangerous trip that was life threatening. For some it was a nice or euphoric experience or at least pleasant. For others it was a nightmare. Leary surely knew this, so he should have been forthright and warned others of the very real chances of a bad trip that could even possibly lead to death. He was an educated person lacking common sense and was irresponsible with the knowledge he had about the drug.
God Scott, what an emotional ending to the video. Very well done.
Hi Scott, how funny, I was just thinking of making a video about this. Once again, you are one step ahead of me, lol. :-) I was thinking about you yesterday. I visited Christopher Dennis' gravesite and just uploaded my video a few minutes ago. I mentioned your earlier video to his death site.
Steve, Love your content also.
Please still do your vlog about Diane Steve!
HUH??? I cannot believe this dude Ed Durston was never looked into!!! She had nothing in her system! He was in the presences of 2 women who died at the time they died!! I think Art and the investigators got this one wrong! I highly doubt acid flashback!!! He planted the idea in her brothers head as an alibi!
Timothy O'Leary was laughing during that interview with Art Linkletter. I wonder what was so funny about a grieving father discussing his daughter's death involving LSD. People trusted Timothy O'Leary be cause he had his Doctor of Psychology and he was also a professor of psychology. He was in a position of trust and he abused that trust!
His last name is Leary and his first wife and his daughter committed suicide. Wonder if he was laughing then.
@@Karmen2010 You're right. I knew his name was Leary but I must have been tired when typing the comment. I read a book by Timothy Leary. Each chapter described a particular person ie, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, etc. In the first chapter he described how his wife committed suicide. I didn't know his daughter also committed suicide.
@@annehoskins5795 I wasn't trying to be a smartass so sorry. I shouldn't say anything about it anyway because I didn't really know much about the guy who thought of this whacky idea as far as psychedelics go. I tried LSD years ago and it was a strange night for me followed by an overwhelming feeling of paranoia while coming down. I couldn't even sleep for awhile. Can't see how this could be therapeutic. I just got that information online when I looked it up but I did read that his daughter committed suicide in the 90s. I didn't realize there's a book about him. It sounds like a good read. He acted extremely arrogant in this clip and his facial expression as this guy was ripping him up and down was priceless. He had no retort. Sounds like a complete moron.
First time seeing the clip of Art laying into Timothy Leary on the Stanley Siegel Show. Holy Cow!!!
I remember when this happened. I was so young but watched Art Linkletter everyday. Now Im so old and still remember this and its troubling to say the least.
My mom mom used to say don't eat suspicious stuff at a party bc look at poor Diane linkletter. When Art would do the craftmatic adjustable bed ads she would talk about how his daughter took drugs and jumped out a window
The song “She Came Undone”, was said to be about Diane Linkletter
Never heard that before but if you know the words to the song I’m thinking of, it fits. ( She’s Come Undone / or Undun by the Guess Who 1969) RIP to Father and Daugther 🙏🏾❤️
The song writer didn't know that a song about a psycho killer was a better fit.The group Talking Heads did write a song so entitled.
Diane was a very beautiful woman and her father really loved his daughter as it was such a very sad ending for this beautiful woman and heartbreak for Art and family...
I definitely think there's a bit more to this very interesting very sad ending👍👍
Obviously he knew is wasn't. drugs.
Scott, I remember when this happened. I was only 13 but remember the impact of her death. All the time, I thought she must have been high as a kite, because that’s what the rumors said. . Now to find out she was sober......... and that guy she was with seems really shady. All we know is what he says happened. And like you stated, he was also with Carol Wayne at the time of her death. What are the odds of that happening? Thanks for sharing Diane’ story.. She was a lovey young woman who deserved so much more. ❤️🙏❤️
I met Art Linkletter in an elevator in L.A. in the mid-1990s. He was cheerful and friendly, and he gave me his autograph. A true gentleman.
No such thing as LSD flashbacks. That was a myth and never proven to exist.
Used lsd multiple times in 80s and I'm still waiting.
That SOB called Her brother creating a cover and pushed her.
I well remember this as I was sixteen at the time. Many times I've recounted the summer of 1969 with the Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick incident of July 18th followed by the July 20th Neil Armstrong moon landing, the August 8th Sharon Tate murders, the August 14th murder of Ted Lennon and the Woodstock Music Festival opening on August 15th. Followed closely by Diane Linkletter's murder/suicide in the early Autumn. It was the best of times it was the worst of times.
Don’t forget the Stones at Altamont in December, capping off an amazing, but very tragic year.
The year I got drafted; not one of my faves.
@@voicemail1639 Also Brian Jones “drowned” . Cheers.
@@fidneusdiller8123 You are so right, cheers.
1969 was brutal
Scott, thank you so much for all the history you are so on top of. This was a sad ending for someone with so much promise.
That is so sad...I never knew this about Mr. Linkletter's beautiful daughter. Thank you for enlightening me with this story 😪
You presented this with respect. (Have you thought of doing a piece on the unsolved murder of 22 year old, aspiring actress, Karyn Kupcinet, daughter of famed Chicago columnist, Irv Kupcinet?)
Oh yes he should do that Kup was never the same after his daughter was murdered !
I would definitely love to hear about that to.
I thought LSD recured even after taken one time. Isn't that what happened to Karyn?
Killed the same day JFK was assassinated.
@Sharon Matuszak
Old wive's tale.
I remember when this happened. Heartbreaking for her family. Thanks Scott for remembering Diane.
I think it's sad about Diane Linkletter, but I'm wondering if she didn't have some mental issues this couldn't have contributed to her death! So sad! RIP to both Diane and Art!
Scott you are a treasure! This was a choice find.
More to this story. I remember when Diane died -- it was horrible. Never felt the investigators got it right. Too sketchy for her to have climbed on a tiny counter to squeeze out of a very small window. The man who was with her needs another investigation.
He's dead
If it's unlikely for her to climb up and jump out it's even MORE unlikely for him to do it while carrying her squirming body.
Think, woman!
Has in hell now...
@@lesliebell5461 grow up
@@Marcel_Audubon
Lol
There is more going to this than what's been published
I was in the small dorm at Chadwick with her. In the 9 months I lived with her I had very little contact with her. I remember her only having a nose job and being ashamed of the bandages. I never met her father. I can’t believe I shared such close quarters with someone and have nothing specific to say.
What a great segment on Diane Linkletter Scott. I can only imagine how Art must have felt and the pain he endured. I’m glad your back to work and hopefully Covid is done for good. LA has so much history and one of the reasons I watch your channel.
Art Linkletter was a good man (1912-2010) age 97 and from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Canada
Great way to close the video with the record coming to an end. Nicely done.
“ We’ve got to jump on people like Leary with hob-nailed boots ,” Linkletter said at the time.
Nice job Scott, another great video. Those were some strange times. Lots of crazy stuff. I wish I could go back in time & relive them.
I vividly remember this story! Rumor had it that drinks were being laced with tabs of acid (it was really happening where I grew up). I credit Art Linkletter's push to inform the public of the dangers of drug use. It made me stay away from punches and unattended drinks when I was out at a party or the bar.
Such a sad story. I have always loved Art Linkletter. Very interesting stories Scott 🧡
Well done, Scott. The respect and reverence with which you present these stories is always appreciated!❤
If I’m not mistaken , Axel Rose lived in the building , it’s where the fight controversy w/ his neighbor happened .Also another Madam who was operating @ the time of Heidi Fliess lived there . She ended up dying of suicide.
Heidi is still alive... and it was the park plaza at LA Brea Hollywood that the wine bottle fiasco happened. But he lived here too.
@@pennypaige8864
Another Madam
“ Operating around the same time as Heidi “
Not Heidi , Herself
I went to a high rise with a woman from work (worked in Beverly Hills for a doctor), to a meet a woman she knew. Both women wanted me to see the bathroom. That was red flag uncomfortable. That woman propositioned me to be an escort. She told me some names of baseball players she would like to introduce me to. I had never heard of such a thing as escort it sounded more like a ____! She was petite, average pretty. She told me her sister was a stunt woman in Hollywood. I was concerned I didn't belong here and I was not driving. This was maybe 74, I was 20. Wonder if this is the high rise and the other madam!
As sad as it is to see Diane Linkletter die so young, I remember when this happened. This is a fascinating vlog by Scott Michaels, with great information about this tragedy that i never knew.
How sad. Beautiful looking lady. Thanks Scott. Take care both x
Thats a very unique record.
Thank you so much for this haunting piece. Just a tragic enigma all around, & you gave it good context & background. Timothy Leary does not come off well here!
Another excellent, thoughtful, well-balanced and nicely produced piece. Thanks for your work, Mr Michaels. Cheers.
Great respect to Art Linkletter. Felt good to hear him skewer that pos leary.
Strange event it reminds me of Anderson Coopers brother when he just decided to climb out on the balcony & drop off.
Always so entertaining! Thank you for all of your work ❤️
I never thought the number on a telephone pole would send a shiver up my spine... But it did-- thanks Scott!
I remember this. Yes, my parents had this record and played it for awhile after her death. I think it shook folks up at the time simply for the fact that it was Art Linkletter’s daughter. He of course was very popular at the time and the fact that his daughter did that made the news.
Another great show Scott!
I just came from Steve's grave sites channel on the Hollywood Superman, he mentioned your channel. I subscribed, Hi from Milwaukee.
Great video as always, never heard of this tragedy before.
Took lunch early to listen !!
Love this channel.
So interesting, I remember this happening being the same age. I always thought it was LSD, heroin at 13?
So sad, thanks for the detailed history.
Confused. She was 20
Wow Scott I truly think this video was the most powerful video I have watched. It made me cry and I never even knew her. Thank you for all you do keep up the great work.
WOW! I'm so glad I watched this. What a great video! I really enjoyed when you played Art rip Leary a new one it was amazing to watch his (Learys) face drop. I watched that part twice.👍👍👍
I was about 5, when art linkletter gave me a black baby doll because I helped hand kids gifts on ' kids say the darnest things'
Mr. Linkletter may have gotten carried away, but he was a heartbroken, bereaved father. Dr. Leary looked like a cold blooded asshole in that clip, although admittedly we didn't see the entire exchange.
Leary was an idiot. Linkletter let him off easy.
great story, scott!!! thank you!
It was very well done. Thanks for what you do.
Very well done. I didn't know this story. It was presented in an even-handed, respectful and, in the end, quite touching manner. Thanks.
Thank Scott for what u do. This was so sad to what happened to Diane.
Scott, love you, your channel, content. This is a sad story. Diane so pretty. Keep up the great work.
I was hoping you would do this one, I had never heard of it until you mentioned it recently
Scott you do these with such respect ty🥰
I read somewhere that the song ‘Undun’ by the Guess Who is about Diane jumping to her death.
”She's come undun,
She found a mountain that was far too high,
And when she found out she couldn't fly,
It was too late”..
Thanks scott for another great and wonderful video you are always so respectful to the dead and you always teach us something new
Excellent as always, another daughter's suicide to report on is Family Affairs Brian Keith. Years later he too would take his own life.
Totally amazing! Keep up your extraordinary work
I was, gosh....14 years old when this incident happened. The parents later used "Charles Manson" and "Art Linkletter's daughter" as ammunition against me and the current counter culture. "You're going to turn into Charles Manson!" Or "You'll get hooked on drugs and end up like Art Linkletter's daughter. The news did not help showing interviews with Art blaming "The Beatles...and Guthrie." Later I found out Grace Slick was a target of Art's also. Such is being a young teen with long hair back in 1969 and 1970.
wow... :O
Mr. Linkletter spoke & expressed the dangers to self and others when choosing to be influenced or forced to take unknown or any mind altering pill , tablet , ect. I agree " SAY NO " . Art Linkletter is Love for his daughter and our health .
What a beautiful girl, who had so much to live for but couldn’t.
what a horrific story! Great Video! this was really eerie to me
Scott I love the stuff you do
My first video was 6 degrees years ago and I've watched that a million times soooooo glad I found this channel
I like what you did with this video, calm, cool, and it came across emotionally when necessary. I like the record skipping, it really added depth to the moment, and conveyed the gap between father and daughter. ;-) Tragic story.
Nicely done video. Well put together and respectful.
I remember this story and always wondered about it. Thank you!
Wow good stuff. This before my time . Thank you for sharing
Diane, call home…collect
Congrats on a great documentary ! Thx
Weird thing is that she died on October 4th and I was born on the same day 24 years later
That’s not weird at all.
Wow! You did a lot of research for this! I'm impressed and wrecked at the same time. That bit at the end with Mr. Linkletter is gut wrenching!
She was so stunning 😢
I have heard that Art Linkletter was not a very nice man but I hope that it isn't true. He was so bull-headed about her death being due to acid but no LSD was in her system. She was such a lovely girl and it's terrible that she never got to live her life. I definitely have my doubts about the man who was with her.
Art Linkleter was a zealot and I think an insufferable opportunist regarding his daughter's death.
Wonder why a 13 year old wld want to get high.
Probably was LSD...drugs can ignite a psychotic episode easily. LSD is not detected well using normal tests.
Ooooo at work right now but cannot WAIT to listen to this!
Thanks for sharing…!
Excellent vids Scott. Always interesting. Even well known cases. RIP Diane.🙏
