Read further and you will understand it wasn't JUST that he was bored. He had many tragic life events, and was in poor health.
luckycatfay
He probably had deep depression, mental illness. I can also get very down and deep despair can seem like a form of boredom and should not bet taken flippantly. This question and its answer is putting mental health back years. Just when folk were starting to understand.

Good grief where does all this hostility and rudeness come from towards each other.... every question in the replies is aggression towards fellow players. 🙄

His characters on screen always seemed bored and disinterested people.

Lorraine
Player Terri, have you not heard that the more you have, the more you want
Maestra
He was one of my FAVORITE actors! Such magnetism and grace on screen. His delivery was always so well done! I read somewhere he knew he had early dementia and that’s why. Who knows? But his legacy on screen is unforgettable! Especially in the role of Addison DeWitt in “All About Eve.” ❤️❤️❤️
Kathie
He was an alcoholic. That contributed to his suicide.

Boredom is situational and temporary. Anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasure, is a common symptom of depression.
Eric sevilla
He just did not understand the value of life.

Soleil10001, I know right, four wives and only seven psychiatrists. now we can figure out why he killed himself.
JTsuited
I read he was frustrated and depressed with getting older, becoming reliant on others and not being able to do the things he loved. According to Wikipedia I think 🤷
Baggins
I never realised he'd committed suicide. Poor man
Player #21374632
Soleil10001, Wow ,what a trip,,would have been a interesting guy to have met and just sit and chat with over a cup of coffee,,
Player #9215425
marygma, I agree. He may have had material success, but seemed void of spiritual success. So sad.
JulieRAlways
Sven 20, The problem starts when he has time to reflect.
