@drrskirby no he didn´t. He died of the diseased that affected him since he was 12: tuberculosis. Even so, he survived during 30 years with the disease which was something of a miracle in the 19 century
I remember this advertisement campaign. This and "Road not taken" are amazingly powerful. Gives me goosebumps every time. Does anyone know who the narrator is?
Beeindruckend!

A puerile work of pimply teenager defiance

Alan are you there in jest?
Or has the booze made you loose what zest
You had in acting, you elder pest?
If you defy the world like some angry twit
At least be sober when your talking shit
