"Daisy Blooms: Inside Daisy Clover The Sequel"
After walking away from her exploded beachhouse, Daisy recuperates on a ocean voyage, where she meets a gruff, uncouth agent/businessman name Sid Tuft, who gets her off the booze and pills - for a while - steers Daisy to a successful, if impermanent, career as a much loved concert hall singer. Her triple-album Daisy At the Palace becomes a touchstone for a generation of what was then quaintly referred to as "all the sad young men."
Daisy's career keeps her in fur, jewels and booze throughout the Sixties, and she makes a remarkable comeback special on television in 1966, but tired of carrying the weight on her very taxing career, she takes a supporting role as a Bride of Frankenstein type character in a third-rate Munsters rip off, and makes just enough money to slip into a comfortable semi-retirement.
During one of her infrequent engagements on a cabaret stage, she noticed a familiar, still-handsome man in the front row at Carnegie Hall, weeping and singing along to every song. It's Wade, and the two resume their friendship, along with Wade's longtime partner Rock Hudson. When Rock and Wade get ill years later, they quietly move into Daisy's Brentwood home, with their old friend Daisy quietly paying all their medical bills. Upon their deaths, only two months apart, Daisy's business manager insists their cause of death be publicly announced as stomach cancer which the two men supposedly developed after swimming in the Amazon river during location filming of the 1978 B-movie "Day of the Piranha."
Daisy never forgave her manager for this betrayal, or herself for going along with it. She retired to her Southern California ranch, where she spent time with an ever growing count of stray dogs. Rumor has it her will leaves the house, the property and every last dime to one dog (a pug named Wade), with a lawyer assigned to that dog to distribute funds for the care and feeding of all the ranch's dogs (all according to the specific approval of Wade the Pub, as determined by the lawyer and a court-approved pet psychic).
As for Daisy's mother, when last heard she had moved to Manhattan, her last known address being a building called the Bramford, where she married, changed her name and lived a quiet, some would say secretive life. She was predeceased by her husband, and upon her own death in 1970 left her considerable estate, including an entire floor of the Upper West Side mansion affectionately called the Bram, to her young companion Rosemary Woodhouse, with a trust established for Ms. Woodhouse's son Adrian.
Daisy, who was not mentioned in her mother's will, passed away in 1987. She was survived by 36 dogs and a chimpanzee named Bubbles, a gift from her friend and fan Michael Jackson.
