Jim Morrison: My Unexpected Drinking Buddy
13 Aug
Summary
- Stewart owned a boutique frequented by iconic musicians.
- Morrison became her frequent drinking companion at noon.
- They took a road trip before his untimely death.
Charlotte Stewart, recognized for her role as Eva Beadle-Simms on Little House on the Prairie, has revealed a surprising friendship from her past with Jim Morrison. Stewart formerly owned and managed 'Liquid Butterfly,' a Los Angeles boutique popular among 1960s musicians. This shop's proximity to Elektra Records facilitated her encounter with Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors.
Their connection began unexpectedly when Morrison visited her store, leading to a daily routine of midday drinks and lunches. Stewart described Morrison as her drinking buddy, emphasizing their casual bond. She recalled driving him home on several occasions due to his intoxication.
This friendship culminated in a road trip taken with Morrison. Stewart later recounted that he was facing difficulties and sought to leave town. They traveled together, an experience Stewart documented in her memoir. Tragically, she noted that she never saw him again after their return to Los Angeles, as he passed away within six months.
