Corrine Griffith in a silent film titled - I kid you not - A Virgin's Sacrifice



She was from Texarkana TX, where her grandfather was mayor. In 1962, she published two books: Hollywood Stories, a selection of short fiction, and Taxation Without Representation—or, Your Money Went That-a-Way, which argued against the income tax. The following year, her memoir Papa's Delicate Condition was made into a biographical feature film of the same name starring Jackie Gleason.

In February 1965, she married her fourth husband, Broadway actor Danny Scholl in Alexandria, Virginia. Scholl was 44 years old, more than 25 years younger than Griffith. The couple separated after two months of marriage. Within the year, Griffith filed for a divorce after a judge denied her motion for an annulment; she contended that the marriage had not been consummated.Pending trial, she was ordered to pay Scholl alimony of $200 per month beginning in December 1964.

During the divorce court proceedings in May 1966, Griffith testified that she was actually not Corinne Griffith. She instead claimed that she was Corinne's younger sister, who, although twenty years younger, had taken Corinne's place when she died in 1924. She also denied having married her former two husbands, Webster Campbell and Walter Morosco. In court, Scholl's attorney proposed that Griffith had falsified her age in the couple's marriage documents as well as failed to disclose her previous two marriages. Upon being questioned about her age, Griffith refused to comment, stating that her religion, Christian Science, prevented her from publicly disclosing it. She also claimed not to have kept record of her age since she was 13 years old. Actresses Betty Blythe and Claire Windsor, who had both known Griffith since the 1920s, contradicted her testimony, but did not shake her story, and she continued to claim that she was in fact Corinne's sister.

In a subsequent interview, Griffith further complicated her story, claiming to be Corinne's twin named Mary, rather than her younger sister:

I am Mary Griffith. Her twin sister. Let me explain. She, Corinne, was starring in a film in Mexico in 1920. She was stricken by a mysterious local malady and died suddenly at age twenty-four. Mr. Adolph Zukor, head of Paramount, called me in person and told me I must save the day; a cancellation of the picture would be a disaster for the studio. He told me what had happened; I cried and cried. He said I must pull myself together: there was a million dollars in it if I would become my sister. I had never acted and didn't want to act. But I couldn't resist the money, and I felt Corinne would want me to help. So I went to Mexico and took over, and nobody knew the difference. From then on, I was Corinne Griffith.

In the same interview, she stated that Corinne had been buried in an unmarked grave in Mexico

For those who noticed the background, this was Woltz's house in The Godfather

Or some of us never found her attractive and the older she got the uglier her butterface got. Simple as that.

Jane Asher, Paul McCartney's '60s gf









I'll say it again: Jane Asher was much more attractive than Linda (and much less of a bitcb)
