Carradine, it emerges, was a man filled with contradictions. He was
athletic but smoke and drank constantly. He was devoted to his fifth
and last wife, Annie Bierman, but was still hung up on his former
spouse. He was a major Hollywood player but liked to pretend he was
broke.
His daily ritual was more akin to a down-on-his-luck drifter than a
star who, according to Hollywood insiders, raked in $2 million or $3
million a year.
Every afternoon, David Carradine would kiss his wife goodbye outside
the Hollywood Scientology Center -- then, as she went inside to pray,
he went about his routine.
Walking across the street, Carradine would always buy two packs of
Lucky Strikes and $20 worth of newspapers at a kiosk and then head to
his favorite bar, Prizzi's Piazza, for his "usual" -- a digestif
liqueur and a double espresso.
He was there "pretty much every day at 5, if he wasn't filming a
movie," said Prizzi's bartender Darryl Rodela, who served Carradine
for the past six years.
"He'd always sit at the same stool and order a double of Averna and a
double espresso. If he was in a foul mood, he'd also have a double
[vodka] with it," Rodela said. "He'd throw down the shots, then go
outside on the patio to smoke and do the crossword puzzles from the
papers." [..]

Scientologist OT Annie Bierman wasn't into bondage so he might have
gotten a professional? wow
What kind of marriage was this?
page 2 quotes:
[..] Once a month, Carradine also frequented another spot: Suzie's
Delights, a sex shop on Ventura Boulevard, near his Tarzana home.
He became a regular six years ago, around the time he married Annie,
said Suzie's owner Shoshana Arazy.
"David would come in to pick out things for himself and pretty
lingerie for Annie," she said. "Always pretty, soft things for his
wife. He'd say, 'This would look so nice on my Annie.' "
The last time Carradine visited the shop was a week before he died. He
placed an order for bondage DVDs and lingerie and told Arazy he'd pick
them up when he got back from Thailand, she said.
Carradine said Annie wasn't into bondage, according to Arazy. Men who
enjoy the kinky sex play, but are in a relationship with someone who
doesn't, often bring in a "specialist" to help tie them up, she
added.
"There must have been someone else in the room," Arazy said, referring
to Carradine's final night in Bangkok. [..]

methinks she was rather interested by getting him more paying in the cult -
or payin a bit for her?, and as she' herself not much famous, perhaps she
wanted to profit of his fame? That would be a better stat for her.
This said, even if the guy had some life failures, he was rather
sympathetic.
r
She went there to pray? OMG, that's a funny error! I can just see her
kneeling before the bust of ElRon. He said he was poor in an interview
I read, too, saying each of his divorces had cleaned him out
financially. In this case, I wonder if he was trying to avoid being
hit up by Scientology.
