Comments

In 1976, at 17, while attending high school in Cambridge, Barbara Yung fell in love with her Dutch classmate, Rob Radboud.

Yung, emotionally fragile, attempted suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills for two consecutive years, at the ages of 18 and 19, but was fortunately discovered and taken to the hospital for stomach pumping.

Ultimately, this led her mother to stop their relationship.
