   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.
