I was wondering why Tammi Terrell is not mentioned in this documentary. Marvin fell into depression just after her death.

@comedyfan3000 They weren't married, "just" friends. But I think it was more than a simple friendship. His depression and drugs addiction after her passing are meaningful.

@acquisces...At the very end (51:00) they did mention that he died on April 1st and would've been 45 yrs old the next day
