...Office: Week after Cinemactor Errol Flynn was charged with raping a 17-year-old Betty, up spoke a nightclub dancing Peggy, who said she was also 17 and, casting her mind back two years to a yachting party, believed she too had been raped by Flynn. In Hollywood's reminiscent imaginations the affair Flynn began to assume the proportions of a first-class local disaster-of the career-wrecking variety that once turned Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle into a has-been.

And from a moment in which Robert Cummings is supposed to slap her face, she learned Art's most cherished trade secret: One Must Suffer. She also taught it to Cinemactor Cummings. Cummings, a gentle young man, could not bring himself, after 22 tries, to sock Diana hard enough. At the 23rd take she kicked him in the shin with her high heel and he smacked her knock-kneed. Said Diana, without rancor: "If I hadn't done something...
