Miriam Hopkins

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

In July, 1972, despite concerns about her health and a premonition that she should not travel, Hopkins flew to New York to attend the special screening of "Story of Temple Drake," celebrating the 60th anniversary of Paramount Pictures, followed by a gala party in her honor at the Museum of Modern Art.  Just as she feared, she suffered a major heart attack and died in her hotel suite before she had the opportunity to return to her California home.
