@nomis,

Thanks for the information. It is a fascinating story.


I remember once, I must’ve been maybe five or six years old, and my mother was watching Joan Crawford on one of those afternoon talk shows like Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin. Crawford was pouring Pepsi for everybody in champagne glasses and my mother said “Oh my goodness she’s drunk!“ I remember my sister asking her how could she know such a thing, and my mother just said something like “oh she had a few before she came out on stage. I can tell!“ I find that hilarious now thinking back on it and wonder if it were true.
