Sunbathe, Sunscreen & Soft Soulful Music

Probably one of the most tragic pop stars that has ever lived is Scottish singer Lena Zavaroni. At only ten years of age, she was the youngest person in history to have an album, Ma! (He's Making Eyes at Me), in the top ten of the UK Albums Chart. Later she starred in her own television series, made numerous TV guest star appearances, and appeared on stage. In her teenage years, the singer suffered from anorexia nervosa and during this time she also developed clinical depression. She blamed this on the pressure placed upon her to fit into costumes, while at the same time "developing as a woman." Following an operation to cure her depression, Zavaroni died at the age of thirty-five from pneumonia on 1 October 1999. I once saw an interview with her in a BBC documentary and she clearly looked like someone who is completely at her wit’s end. She told the interviewer that she really tried, but she found it extremely hard to see some hope somewhere.
