Which of The Supremes died of a broken heart?
Answers:
Flo Ballard. She died penniless as well.
"Dreamgirls" is mostly about her. The character "Effie White" is based her. When Jennifer Hudson won th Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of Effie, she dedicated the win to Flo Ballard, "a girl who never got a chance."
Cindy Birdsong replaced Flo in The Supremes.
