The Article
Virginia Woolf: she was born 25 of January 1882 and died on the 28th of March 1941. She was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. Virginia Woolf's death was a suicide; she filled her overcoat's pockets with heavy stones and walked into the River Ouse. Virginia Woolf's mental health deteriorated further and further into her life and so led to the tragedy that was her suicide, nobody can safely assume which mental illness was responsible, but the prevailing opinion is that it was bipolar disorder.
Curly, Larry and Moe: Curly, Larry and Moe were the Three Stooges, most well-known for their comedy short films from 1934 to 1957. The stooges were incredibly popular within their company Columbia Pictures: they were used by Harry Cohn, the company president, as leverage to get other less popular short comedies into theaters, and they were also underpaid for their popularity due to Cohn constantly telling them that the short comedy was dying out, which wasn't untrue.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Along with William Wordsworth, Coleridge was a founder of the Romantic movement of England and a member of the Lake Poets. He was born on 21 October 1772 - 25 July 1834. Like Virginia Woolf he possibly suffered manic depression and was medicated with laudanum, a medicine that was an alcoholic solution of opium which led to a lifelong opiate addiction.
