>From YouTube (so reliable, yes?): "Sue Lyon came into Donovan's life at
the end of 1965. Lyon had starred in "Lolita" and "Night of the Iguana"
before meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the
relationship abruptly. Donovan had evidently slipped LSD into Sue's and
her friend's drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as
"frightening and disturbing" and she "felt her self-control
disintegrating". After this incident Lyon never spoke to Donovan again
until 1975."
If true, that was a very un-cool thing for Donovan to have done - not to
say downright dangerous. Shortly thereafter he denounced all drug use
(cover blurb on his album "A Gift From a Flower to a Garden") after
being initiated by Maharishi into TM
