Crawford redux

I'll never forgive Mommie | By genre | guardian.co.uk Books

This mildly interesting article is about the soon to be re-issued "Mommie Dearest", the most successful adoptive parent character assassination ever.

It turns out many of the other adoptive kids in the Joan Crawford household, and staff who were around her, claim that Christina was wildly exaggerating. If she is, she's certainly very creative about it.

But the main reason I thought this worth a post was for this snippet which surprised me:
Her [Joan Crawford's] forceful personality and strident physical attractiveness meant she was used to getting what she wanted. She married four times and had a string of affairs with both men and women, including a one-night stand with Marilyn Monroe.
Who in American isn't said to have slept with Marilyn?
