Original name:
Charlotte Ruth Walgreen

Ruth’s final project was a film entitled Wabi, which was unfortunately a critical disappointment. By this time (1974) Ruth had secluded herself with her third husband John Franklin in their Greenwich estate. On 9 April 1974 Ruth Stephan took her own life and was found beneath a pine tree on a hilltop. On 11 April her remains were cremated without ceremony. She had no memorial service. She has no grave.
