All of our parents &       grandparents are gone now, but I DEFINITELY remember hearing them talk about       this 'scandal' while I was growing up. They said she was almost ruined in       Hollywood because of it. It was        said that her grandmother had an affair with her family's slave. They had a       baby (Dinah's mom) who was white, then Dinah came along... Clearly white, &       then her baby came out and shocked everyone. It almost destroyed her marriage       also. It came down to        her mom getting the family 'closet skeletons' out in the open for it to be       verified. YES, it was a real Hollywood scandal back in the day. PS, I am 46 &       know of this. I bet if you ask an older generation person they could confirm       this.       >       I don't remember this, but I do recall rumors that she was partly       black.              Bill              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
