The Hollywood community was saddened to learn of the death, Thursday, of Nikki Bacharach (40), daughter of Angie Dickinson and Burt Bacharach.
Her death was listed as a suicide by the coroner’s office. She was very pretty and slim but had a lifetime struggle because of her impediment known as a form of autism, Asperger’s disease. She also had visual impairment but it didn’t detract from her attempt to pursuit a career as a geologist.
She lived both at Angie’s home and at Burt’s but also had her own condominium. It was at the last-mentioned where she committed suicide — by the book which, in my opinion, should never have been published. Nikki died of suffocation using a plastic bag and helium.
“Nikki quietly and peacefully committed suicide to escape the ravages to her brain brought on by Asperger’s, a form of autism,” Angie and Burt noted. They said Nikki loved kittens and a special fund will be created in Nikki’s memory to find homes for cats and kittens.
As people donate, they will receive an acknowledgement that a cat or kitten was rescued in Nikki’s name and that the Lange Foundation will care for and keep the cat until they find a home for it.
The Lange Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 and all donations are tax deductible. Its non-profit ID number is 95-4407687. Services for Nikki Bacharach are pending.
Sweet dreams, sweet Nikki.
