Subject: Twenty Questions for Mamie Van Doren 11. Who had a bad reputation but turned out to be the perfect gentleman? Howard Hughes. 12. Who was thought to be a gentleman, but turned out to be a cad? Too many to name.
13. Who was great in bed - but not worth all the drama? Steve Cochran. He played gangsters
and heavies
and tough cops.
14. What's your best beauty secret? You look great in your recent photos! Thanks. I drink a quart of tequila
a day,
eat two chocolate cakes a week, and never sleep.
15. You must have a juicy Elvis story or two - care to share? Elvis came to see me at the Rivera hotel
in Las
Vegas. He had just seen me in The All American with
Tony Curtis.
16. Which boyfriend looked in the mirror more than you? :) Joe Namath. He was so vain he had a mirror over his bed.

Miller Story
with Nicky Hilton.
19. Did you ever have a tryst with a politician? JFK, maybe? JFK tried after Marilyn's death.

called and asked if I would be interested. Too bad I didn't give
it a go.
