like why this version of the story includes the ending unlike the bazillion other tabloid tell-alls about Rosemary LOL

p.s. here's what Rose says on the tape, from the People article (hadn't noticed it earlier):

"I didn't want to discourage people because she was getting on quite well and she did have this accident that I didn't want to go into…" Rose says in the recordings. "It was found expedient and necessary, really, and better for her to go to this home in Wisconsin where she was very well taken care of by the nuns."
