...Fame seven years ago, reported that she's been skimping on the haute couture lately. "That navy blue coat I wore the other day is two years old," she sighed. "When my maid packed my bags, she said, 'Madame, some of these evening dresses have gone to Palm Beach with you three times.' I'm hoping nobody will remember...
...tanned, lanky Hamilton, 26, whose attributes are more highly esteemed by Hollywood starlets than by the movie critics, comes to such sumptuous living, he says, via a "sort of flotsam and jetsam route"-Memphis, Palm Beach, Manhattan, 25 different schools.

Not only was Shea later unable to point out the parking lot where the original assault took place, but a palm print found...
