Martha Gellhorn first met Ernest Hemingway in Key West according to her conversations with John Simpson reported in his book A Mad World, My Masters.
[edit] Cause of death
As far as I know there are no wikirules against stating cause or manner of death. I have reverted to earlier copy: "At the age of 89, ill and nearly completely blind, she ended her life by taking a poison pill." Bardwell 16:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cause of death and marital indiscretions
Gellhorn herself asserted that Hemingway slept with only five women in his entire life, counting his four marriages. These remarks can be found in the book on Hemingway and Gellhorn's trip to China in 1940, "Hemingway on the China Front."
Also, "poison pill" is misleading. Supposedly she took an overdose of sleeping pills. HolySh!tIAmOnFire (talk) 19:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
