House of Shaw

[Paul Mackin]

Thanks for the info on Kathleen Winsor. Was Lana Turner also
one of Artie's shorttermers (or should I say he one of hers)? There 
were a lot for each. Stands to reason paths might have crossed and 
those were marrying times. Then there was Mickey Rooney.

Temporarily off the p-list for a couple weeks while away on vacation.
