She was so happy to finally make it and feel like she was getting established… And my dad was just sick of it.
Other issues plagued Nashville’s answer to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. They were married from 1969 to 1975."Of course, my dad had problems with drinking," said the 52-year-old."But my mom also developed medical issues which caused multiple surgeries and then addiction to pain pills. So all of that pulled them apart.
back then — it was very much a taboo thing to talk about," Georgette explained."You looked down on people with addiction as if this was a moral issue or a discipline problem within themselves. No one looked or talked about addiction like we do now. Today, we realize it’s a medical problem, a psychological problem. It’s something that needs to be addressed throughout your life. But in those days, there was a stigma. No one wanted to address those problems.
