Butterworth’s issues might have revolved around alcohol, as he landed in the hospital a few times over the years. In 1972, Maude Chasen of Chasen’s Restaurant remembered an incident with Butterworth “driving his MG through the front door and telling the bartender to fill ‘er up.”
On June 13, 1946, Butterworth left a nightclub party to return home. Speeding down Sunset Boulevard, he lost control of his French Magnette runabout at the intersection of Sunset and La Cienega Boulevard. The car slid 180 feet before crashing into a lamppost. The impact threw Butterworth from the car, and his head hit the pavement, leading to a fractured skull. He died en route to the hospital. Butterworth’s blood-alcohol level was 0.25% per the autopsy, more than two times the legal limit then, and more than three times the current blood-alcohol limit.

What is a "French Magnette runabout" ? Is it an NA?

I wonder whether the "French Magnette" survived ? Looks like another loose end for you to investigate, Peter (Ross).

A French magnette is obviously not an NA, more LA (or is it LE depending on whether it is masculine or feminine?)
