with this new project, Frances Kroll, who would recount the experience in her 1985 memoir, Against the Current: How I Remember F. Scott Fitzgerald. Her death in 2015 at the age of ninety‐nine severed Fitzgerald's last link with the living.
On December 21, 1940, at Sheilah Graham's apartment at 1443 Hayworth Avenue in Hollywood, F. Scott Fitzgerald died of a heart attack. He was forty‐four. Two days after Christmas he was buried across the country in Maryland at the Rockville Union Cemetery. The Roman Catholic Church had refused permission for his remains to be buried in their cemetery nearby where his parents had been laid to rest. Zelda would join him in 1948 after being killed in a fire at the Highland Hospital where she was being treated for her ongoing mental health problems. In 1975, after the persistence of their only daughter was rewarded, the couple were reinterred in the Fitzgerald family plot at St. Mary's Church, Rockville, Maryland. Their headstone is inscribed with the closing line of Fitzgerald's most famous work, The Great Gatsby: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
