2. A fun, comedic actress
Sadly, she became a crazed, rabid anti-communist John Bircher-type in her later years (along with Mary Pickford). David Stenn's bio of her is very good, I think. Lots of great pics.

3. True, But...

4. That story isn't really true
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 11:08 AM by flamingyouth
It's been rather embellished, thanks to tripe like Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon.

5. Thanks!
It is, however, a good chuckle!

6. Especially when you think of Marion Morrison ("John Wayne")
Mr. Morality being involved. That's by far my favorite facet of the story. :D
