Miss Williams tried therapy, but says she gave up when two successive psychiatrists sat gaga before a movie star. In 1959, her career at a seeming end and her second marriage over, she did try LSD under the direction of Cary Grant's psychiatrist, and had a hallucinatory experience in which she envisioned herself in the body of her older brother Stanton, a child movie actor who had died years earlier as a teen-ager, and whose mantle she realized she had assumed. She begins her book with an account of the trip.Seems sensible. If you think you're going crazy, drop a blotter of acid and remove all doubt. And, just because I anticipate this question from the many burned out hippies who are my core readership, is the doctor still in practice?
