Pamela Susan Courson (1946 – 1974). Long-term companion of Jim Morrison, singer of the Doors.
Courson and Jim Morrison met at the London Fog nightclub on the Sunset Strip in 1965, while she was an art student at Los Angeles City College. They had an open relationship, as both maintained ongoing relationships with others.
From 1969 to 1971, Courson operated Themis, a fashion boutique that Morrison bought for her with his royalties from the album Strange Days.
Courson stated that on July 3, 1971, she awoke to find Morrison dead in the bathtub of their apartment in Paris. According to Morrison's will at the time, which stated that he was "an unmarried person", Courson was named his heir, and therefore in line to inherit his entire fortune. Lawsuits against the estate would tie up her quest for inheritance for the next two years.
Courson died of a heroin overdose on the living room couch at her Los Angeles apartment. Like Morrison, she was 27 years old when she died.
