Dutka interviewed MacLaine at the actress's rambling duplex apartment on Manhattan's East Side. "Because she is so committed to self-knowledge, a talk with her is almost like participating in a therapy session," says Dutka...
...attained her goal to "make as much money as I can" (all but two of her shows earned a profit), and at one point lived in a ten-room New York City duplex with a quarter-acre terrace and a waterfall. But her four marriages all ended in divorce; the last, to Actor Ernest Borgnine, in 1964, lasted 38 days. One of her two children, Ethel II, died of an overdose of alcohol and barbiturates in 1967. Although she made notable TV shows, especially with Broadway Star Mary Martin, Merman had only modest success in the movies, where her outsize...

Military police found MacDonald's pregnant wife and two daughters bludgeoned and stabbed to death. MacDonald, then a physician for the Green Berets, lay unconscious in the duplex apartment with 17 stab wounds. He claimed that four "hippie types" had committed the brutal slayings, but Army investigators believed he had expertly stabbed himself with nonfatal wounds to cover a homicidal marital quarrel. The Army charged MacDonald with the murders and then, after more investigation, dropped the case...
