CHAPTER 31
1. Miller, Marden’s postwar successor as owner of the gorgeous nightclub atop the Jersey Palisades, was no relation to Sinatra’s pianist—but was the father of the controversial New York Times reporter Judith Miller.
2. Lana would soon have Lamas fired from Latin Lovers (to be replaced by Ricardo Montalban) and would take up with Lex Barker—whom she would marry a year later, and whom Turner’s daughter Cheryl Crane would later accuse of having sexually abused her when she was ten.
