Throughout her entire career Lupe insisted on doing her own make-up, which she carried around in an old fishing box. She claimed she knew her face better than anyone else.
A Tragic End
On the 13th of December 1944, Lupe filled her room with flowers, clutched a note to her chest explaining her actions, lay on her 8ft x 8ft bed, and took an overdose of Seconal - the same drug used by Judy Garland for her suicide. It is unsure whether Lupe actually meant to kill herself, or whether it was a cry for help aimed at her boyfriend Harald Ramesch, by whom she was pregnant.
