	HERMENAUT: Journal: May 1999
		A natural and gifted comedienne, Dana Plato taught the post-Boomer generation that where difference emerges, it must be continuously negotiated by finding humor in the clash of value-systems—otherwise difference will be continuously suppressed.
		Yet the events of her later "career" seem to indicate that in the end she'd come to agree with the sociologist/pornographer George Bataille, who insisted that the very idea of "diff'rent strokes" was an opiate of the people, one which narcotized them into a complicitous participation in a degenerate system.
		Love, Plato writes, is a mediatory link between the material world and the world of Absolute Beauty; our mistake, it seems, has been to think of this Love as something chaste and dignified.

	Gettingit.com: Dana Plato's Corpse
		Bugbee's proud press release for the Expo -- headlined "Dana Plato Speaks!" -- was soon followed by one titled "Dana Plato Silenced," after she died of an overdose of painkillers and muscle relaxants just two weeks before the big event.
		Dana's years of notoriety were over, and all Bugbee had left were the tapes of their phone conversations.
		Dana does ramble in their last conversation, but there's no explicit descent "into a drugged-out Hollywood HELL!" ("Listen in HORROR...") And though it does open with a montage of sound clips, to advertise it as "Kimberly Drummand's [sic] audio suicide note CAUGHT ON TAPE!!" is an exaggeration.
