Mankiewicz, Leon Shamroy, Stuart Lyons, Joan Jones, Arthur Shields, Harry Guardino, Nick Colasanto, Vince Edwards, Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Jayne Mansfield, Joan Crawford, Charles Bronson, Leon Mirell, Rick Jason, Richard E. Lyons, John Bernardino, Norma Connolly, Emily McLaughlin, David Lewis. And my family and friends: Richard Castle, Helen Coffey, Mary, Jack Kogel, my father, my mother, Dr. Richard E.

Letters to the Dead

.....

Danny and his wife’s house was fairly new and was a lovely home. We headed for the bar. You were upset because the musicians were not there yet. Big deal! I didn’t see what difference it made. You reminded me of - again – a little boy stomping his feet to get his way. You went behind the bar, which was sunken so that your eyes were at my eye level. Two girls were there and in my estimation a bit “cheap” looking. They asked you for a drink and you replied in rather insulting words. Oh, oh! I took a look at you and thought – “If you talk to me in that tone of voice, I’m outta here!” I guess you saw it in my eyes because your whole mannerism changed as you asked me very sweetly “Honey, what would you like to drink.” There weren’t a lot of people there. You kept asking where is the band? Everyone seemed tense that you were upset! You grabbed me and told Ruby “Let’s get out of here!” I came with you so obviously I had to leave with you but I felt you were totally rude to the host and hostess. They were your friends and I am sure understood you far better than I did but they seemed upset that you were angry.

Ruby dropped us off at your house and went his way. I don’t remember much about your home. We seemed to enter the den and bar area. It was fairly ordinary looking – nice, but nothing spectacular. Perhaps other parts of it were more impressive. I believe it had several guest apartments. Books are always a way to know something about a person. I stood looking at your books while you went behind the bar. There on the bookshelves sat your Oscar. Ahhh, and my dream of owning one myself. I asked if I could pick it up. I never realized you received two Oscars – one in 1945 for “The House I Live In” – I did remember the 1953 “Maggio” role in “From Here to Eternity” – plus another nomination for “The Man With the Golden Arm,” which should have won. It was not the first Oscar that I held. Richard Lang, whom I dated off and on for several years, had Clark Gable’s Oscar. Gable had given it to him when he was a small boy. He had used it for a hammer. He had it reshaped and re-dipped in gold and in tiptop shape to give to Gable’s son.
