Vacationing with her husband at the Grand Hotel e la Pace in Montecatini, Italy, she said: "It's absolutely false and ridiculous. I'm not even sure how the story began. I've been married to Mr. Shevlin for 15 or 16 years, and previously I was married for a short time to John Bersbach and then to Firmin Desloge, by whom I had a daughter who's 20 now.
