Me at the age of nine months.

Me at the age of three, with my brother Donald (five) and sister Phyllis (one).

Walter Pidgeon, a well-known actor in the ’40s and the first guy who picked me up at the gas station.

Sadly, I don’t have a photo of the Hollywood Boulevard gas station, but it looked much like this one.

Syd Guilaroff, hairstylist to Garbo, Taylor, Monroe, and others, shown here with Lana Turner; and Bill Haines, actor turned interior designer – two of the first guys I tricked in Hollywood.

Cole Porter was a great friend of mine back in the ’40s – and he loved the Marines I used to send over to his place.

George Cukor with Greta Garbo. Cukor’s pool parties were legendary – anyone who was anyone would be there. I first tricked him in the ’40s and he introduced me to lots of future friends.

Cary Grant and Randolph Scott – these guys were both married when I got to know them, but that didn’t stop the three of us from becoming very closely acquainted.

Me when I enlisted for the Marines at age eighteen.
