Christine Chubbuck


I searched name again to see if I could find any better pics than the black & white on Wikipedia to see why she struggled to get dates. That picture wasn’t very flattering, and women doing local television news during the 70s weren’t usually ugly especially at age 29 or 30.

In almost all the pics coming up early on search I thought she looked cute with almost a Rebecca Hall look…

I am glad I didn’t post a picture with the gun to her head from the movie.

But still there were some where she almost looked like Cuddy from House (unless Lisa Eedlstein also played her in something). Her dad must have messed her up.

I am not old enough to remember it but i went down a rabbit hole years ago to learn about it .. Today it’s generally accepted that Christine was very much on the spectrum, like a lot.. the holy grail video tape of the incident is now in the possession of “a very large law firm” and will likely never see the light of day .

Whoa that was weird. Was she disgruntled over her job or the station? Seemed to indicate that.

Nah it wasn’t bad. Those old Taliban videos were worse, like when that poor guy was slowly beheaded and was screaming during it.

Yeah figured that out after starting to see pictures I knew were Rebecca Hall in other stuff and double checking Rebecca’s filmography, but before I decided to look a little more into it I almost made the mistake of posting a picture from movie. That why I included the ellipsis and also the part about the pic with gun to her head from the movie below.

On duck duck search of Christine, Rebecca Hall was in a majority of the displayed pics including in pictures not related to the movie further down the results page of images. Some of that’s DuckDuck especially including unrelated pictures of Rebecca Hall, but I guess most is because actual pictures online of Christine are limited and from the 70s and the 60s with the suicide video locked away compared to a movie from 2016 with Hall and Dexter even if movie was a low budget independent movie.
