00:18She got a reputation for having lots of affairs with famous men, and some of those affairs didn't end too well.
00:27She was with Bob Hope for quite a long time. He kept a house for her, and ultimately when she started to threaten to tell people about their affair, he was married at the time, Bob Hope's people paid her off.
