What people remember about Monette was that she was "one hell of a looker"; what they remember about Spiro are the pranks. While at Loyola, he sponsored an expensive formal, and tried to pass off an unknown nightclub singer as Aretha Franklin. The fraud was exposed, but when Hanemann saw Spiro after he transferred to Tulane, there were signs in Spiro's car promoting another Aretha dance. "Spiro, what are these signs?" asked Hanemann.

...Thin Man films and other light, sophisticated romances, some of which starred Lombard herself. These qualities, once so readily found in American movies, have now vanished.

In Mexico City, she notes happily, a sellout crowd of 1,200 paid $80 apiece to catch her song-and-dance act on New Year's Eve. At the Concord Hotel in upstate New York, 3,400 customers came for her show, setting a record for the hotel. Says Raquel...
...couple have a nightclub act they plan to take around to colleges. Bill sings The Look of Love, his theme song on Days, and Susan has a patter number called I Enjoy Doing the Soaps. They are mobbed when they appear in public. Fame is fun for Bill, who loves his female admirers...
