  • Trivia
    Married three times after she left films. Her second was infamous private detective Fred Otash (1922-1992), known for digging up dirt for scandal magazines such as Confidential (including the "outing" of gay actors). Clients of "Mr. O." would include Bette Davis, Lana Turner and Frank Sinatra. Otash reportedly involved himself in several star actors' sordid headlines, including the Peter Lawford cover-up of Marilyn Monroe's suicide and the Scott Brady marijuana bust.
