Actress commits suicide in Rio hotel room
PUSSSYKATT
BEAUTIFUL actress Lois Hamilton -- who appeared on "Three's Company" and "The
Ropers" -- has taken her own life in far-off Rio de Janeiro after a bizarre
reversal of fortune.
ACTRESS Lois Hamilton flew alone to Rio de Janeiro where she put on her makeup
before killing herself.
An ENQUIRER investigation reveals the once-hot actress was battered by a career
nose-dive, bankruptcy, divorce, severe car-crash injuries and a felony arrest!
Just before Christmas, Lois, 57 -- who worked opposite Robert Redford, Burt
Reynolds, Bill Murray and other stars -- flew to Rio, locked herself in a room
at the Sheraton Hotel, carefully applied makeup, ingested a handful of pills
and slipped a plastic bag over her head.
A Rio police detective told The ENQUIRER: "Lois was alone and had spent three
or four nights in the hotel before she killed herself.
"On the afternoon of December 23, the chambermaid tried to enter the room. The
door was chain-locked. When security opened it, they found her body.
TRAGIC LOIS with ex-hubby.
"She left two suicide notes. One addressed to her mother said, 'I can't stand
the pain in my body any longer.'
"The other note was addressed to the management of the hotel, apologizing for
taking her life in their hotel."
During her heyday, Lois had roles in "Stripes," "Cannonball Run" and other
movies.
Producer Paul Ryan, her longtime friend, told The ENQUIRER: "For a while Lois
was everywhere -- 'Designing Women,' 'Hunter,' 'Lifestyles of the Rich and
Famous.'
"When she was cast to play John Ritter's girlfriend on 'Three's Company,' the
director liked her so much that he brought her back many times, playing
different girlfriends.
"And when 'The Ropers' spin-off came about, Lois was cast in a recurring role
of Debbie Hopper, the neighbor in the hot tub."
But true stardom still eluded the sexy blonde.
Then in 1986, she wed financier Charles W. Knapp. Seven years later, a federal
indictment charged him in connection with a failed savings bank.
Knapp was forced into bankruptcy and sent to federal prison, where he's
scheduled to remain until February 2001.
For Lois, things went from bad to worse. Last May 2 she was involved in a
head-on collision while traveling to visit her then ex-husband Knapp in prison.
Court documents on the car crash obtained by The ENQUIRER reveal she was using
cocaine, diet pills, Prozac, Xanax and other drugs.
Lois was charged with driving under the influence and causing bodily harm to
four people.
Said friend Ryan: "Lois was seriously hurt. She broke her jaw, several
vertebrae and her hip in the crash. She walked with a serious limp.
"It's a crime that her life ended the way it did."

Can't picture her, but if someone knows what role she played on
Designing Women (sure it was an occasional small one), I'd be able to
remember her.

That's putting a phantasmagorical spin on the
concept of "everywhere."

I don't know who she played on "Designing Women," but the only 'attractive'
blonde I can remember in "Stripes" was the girl who played Bill Murray's
girlfriend. Her character was in the MP...she and Sean Young constantly
helped Murray and Harold Ramis get out of trouble.
Was that her?
