About Jim Morrison

After graduating from UCLA, where he majored in film, Jim Morrison moved to Venice Beach and took up the hippie life. Influenced by his study of Antonin Artaud, he wrote poetry and soon he and fellow UCLA student Ray Manzarek started The Doors. Drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger joined soon after.

The Doors were named after Aldous Huxley's novel 'The Doors of Perception' and the group indulged in psychedelic drugs and other drugs. Morrison suffered from alcoholism and was found dead in the bathtub of his Paris bathtub on July 3, 1971. There was no autopsy performed and the death left many questions about his estate in later court actions by his common-law wife, Pamela Courson.
