Shows Cancelled
It is clear that the siblings had their share of problems to deal with. During the peak of their career, they were evidently suffering from a lot of stress. Karen was losing weight excessively in preparation for their upcoming shows. However, her condition was so severe by 1975 that they had to cancel their shows in the Philippines, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
Seeking Help
Eventually, Karen began to look for help from professionals. She found Steven Levenkron, a New York City-based psychotherapist. Richard expressed dissatisfaction at the way he handled Karen’s case but it did not stop Karen from seeing Levenkron. However, she rang the doctor up one day to report that she was not feeling well. More specifically, she told him that her heart was “beating funny”.
