Like I Said Both Are Worth The Read. In Kilgallen What You'll Find Out About Her Youngest On Is Pretty Heartbreaking! But I've Done Some Research (Creeping, Haha) On Him And He's Come A Long Way From Some Of The Stuff I Read! (And I Say Creeping Because I'm Fairly Sure I Found His Facebook Profile, Haha)
Both Of Those Poems Made Dorothy Come To My Mind, That Just Made Him A Zillion Times Creepier! I Mean They're Great, But Just The Context Makes Things Weird, And Creepy...
I He Got Somewhere With That Too! I Mean, Lord Knows Where They Really Are! Was This Kerry? I'd Assume Him Because Apparent Her Other Two Children Refuse To Speak About Her.
Yeah I pretty sure it was Kerry; But I couldn’t really find that much about any of her children. I knew however that the relationship with her daughter had gone estranged. Her daughter accused her of having an affair with Ron Pataky. But Dorothy just kept denying it. Hence there estranged relationship. But still why won’t Jill & Richard Jr speak about her?? Are they ashamed or something? (But why would they be; Dorothy is just so awesome!)
He has a few other weird poems. But they do make Dorothy come to mind when you read them.
Kathleen let's srsly do it.
This time for realz, because I'd always slack off after like a week and then just eat everything.
BECAUSE SUMMER IS ALMOST UPON US.
No you can’t slack off! I srsly did it last time but you gave up!
Yeah, They Lasted A Really Long Time! A Really, Really Long Time! There Is A Nice FanFiction About Dorothy & Johnnie Called "Johnnie Ray & Miss Kilgallen" Its By Larry Hill & Bonnie Hearn Hill. It Made It To Print, But Its Somewhat Hard To Find! I've Read It A Few Times Through Library Loan. Thought Fictional, Its Worth The Read! Also, "Killgallen" By Lee Israel Is A Bio On Dorothy And Its Very Good! And Again, I've Read It Several Times! There Is An Interview Available On YouTube Where Johnnie Talks About The Book.
I'm So Curious Where Those Notes Are, And That's Another Thing That Adds To The Mystery Of Dorothy's Death. Though, By This Point In Time, They've Probably Been Destroyed! Its Strange How Just A Few Days After And In Presence Of The Notes That Friend Died! Apparently After Dorothy's Interview With Jack Ruby She Was Quoted As Saying She Would Break Open The JFK Case, Then Died Soon After!
Ron Pataky Writes Children's Poems?! Now That's Slightly Disturbing! And It Bothers Me That There Is A Picture Of Him & Dorothy There...And That Its The Last One. That's Just Creepy! There Is Also Some Info Here About Ron: http://www.midtod.com/new/articles/7_14_07_Dorothy.html
I’ve see clips of the interview; but never the full thing. I’ve heard of Johnnie Ray & Miss Kilgallen. But I’ve been really wanting to read Lee Isreal’s book; but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I read that article a while back; it’s pretty interesting.
But Ron Pataky is creepy. Yeah there picture being the last one that hit me too as being a bit strange. One of his poems called
Never Trust A Stiff At A Typewriter
The way to quench
A gossip’s stench
(And plus; it never fails!)
“One cannot write
If zippered tight
As dead men sell no tales!”
There are a few of his poems like that. When asked about that particular poem. He just said oh i’ve written thousands of poem I can’t remember them all.
Another one goes:
It DOES Make For A Fascinating Tombstone
Fame is a game
And it does mean a shame
And so many year takes to plan it
But then there’s the fact
(And we mention with tact)
That fame is compelling on granite
There are a bunch of his poems like that. Its sorta disturbing. When they first met he said to her “Oh you must be Clare Luce Booth”. Although they look nothing alike.
It sorta creeps me out; and those audio recordings of him reading poems and such send shives up my spine.
Apparently her son tried to find her notes; and get tried her FBI file. To further investigate into her death. I’m not sure if this was recently or in the past or both. But I hope he get somewhere with the case.
I Always Forget About The Out Of Towner! Though, I Don't Know Too Much About Him, So I Didn't Know He Had Connections! I Honestly Think Dick Loved Dorothy Up Until Dick Took His Own Life (Which Is The Reason, I Believe He Did) I Think Dick Knew That Dorothy Found Love In Johnnie, But He Could Never Find Love In Another Woman. Speaking Of "Too Many Girls" & Desi Arnaz, There Are Also Rumors That He And Dick Had Some Sort Of Sexual Fling During The Course Of That Play. Though That Was From Cesar Romero Who Also Said He Had A Fling With Both Of Them! Anyway! The Mysterious Circumstances Are The Only Thing That Make The Suicide Claim Fishy! Also, I Think Its Strange That Kerry Went Into Her Room The Morning She Was Found Dead And Never Suspected A Thing! I Mean She Was Fully Clothed And Sitting Upright! (Not That I Think Kerry Did It, But Its Strange)
Dorothy & Johnnie! That's One Hell Of A Couple! Their Relationship Started After His Appearance On What's My Line In 1956 Though I'm Sure Where They Met Up After That Show, I Know That Nothing Was Started That Night Or There For A While But She Began Doing Articles On Him (There Are Some On The Kilgallen Files Website). I Can't Remember If Their Relationship Started A Year After His Appearance Or A Year After Kerry Was Born (But I Think It Was A Year After Kerry). But Basically They Kept It Somewhat Of A Secret For About 8 To 10 Year. Though Dick Knew I'm Sure, But It Took Him To Catch Them In The Act For Him To Do Anything. Everyone Knew About It, But No One Really Spoke Of It.
One hell of a couple for sure! I didn’t know a whole lot about the two of them. I had no idea that their relationship had lasted that long. Its strange how she gave JFK notes to a friend a few days before her death; I guess her life had been threatened. Then her friend turned up dead and her notes have never been found. What is also strange is how multiple people claim to have found her body. It could be people wanting attention; but to state differently in official reports that different people had found her body is stranger yet.
But what creepy and slightly disturbing is how Ron Pataky now writes children poems. He even has his own website: http://worlds-premiere-ransom-note-factory.us/ Scroll down to the bottom of the website and there on the very bottom there’s a link to his own personal photo’s and there’s a picture of him and Dorothy posted there. Which is strange considering he always seems to try to distance himself from her. Claiming they barely knew each other and what not.
Love your blog. Oh, are you the one that made that Arlene gif (Have I asked you this before? Lol) b/cI love it & have used it but didn't know who to credit. Totally butting in here but OMG RE Dorothy Killagen. No one ever knows who she is! Personally, I think she was murdered by the mob--Frankie style. They were terrible enemies after all. Or. the govt since she WAS about to bust that case WIDE open. I have a friend writing a screenplay about the whole thing :)
Your crediting the wrong person (: (I just stole it; it’s pretty awesome though) I’m not sure of who made it!?! (: Arlene is pretty great though! But moving to Dorothy: I think Ron Pataky had something to do with it; and he was connected to the CIA. I could see why the mod would want her dead too. That’s pretty awesome that your friend is writing a screenplay. Hopefully he/she will do Dorothy & the case justice and just stick to the facts! (:
Someone basically suggested Lucy and Desi's love wasn't real because they divorced.
The most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Their marriage ended, yes, but their love never did. Anyone knows that.
Oh ok thanks; that makes sense I was almost in shock. At someone even making that claim; its bulllshit if I every heard any.
Thanks for making sense of that post for me; I only saw the title and was very confused. It’s sad though that they couldn’t make it work. But its true there love never ended.
Her Story Is Easy To Obsess Over!
I Tend To Go With Two Different Theories....The More I Look Into Things....I Tend To Think The Government...But On The Surface She Was Heartbroken Over Johnnie!!! And I Don't Think Dick Had The Heart To Do It, Like Her Family Though! Yourself?
I personally think that the man Ron Pataky whom she had been hanging around with the months before her death. He apparently had connections to the CIA. I don’t think Dick couldn’t have killed her; because he did truly love her at one point. Desi Arnaz talks about Dorothy & Dick before they were married and how every night that Dorothy was in the audience of the show “Too Many Girls” the show he was playing in at the time. He would screw up & forget his lines and get insanely nervous. Only because she was there. Although there marriage had gone sour; I agree I don’t think he could have killed her. What happened with her relationship with Johnny? I don’t know a whole lot about there relationship? But I don’t think she would have committed suicide. Plus the circumstances were two strange. I don’t think it could have been her hairdresser; he seemed a bit odd; and wasn’t the best at hair(some of Dorothy’s hairstyles were a bit odd; even for the time) but I don’t think he did it. Could you tell me a bit more about her relationship with Johnny?
:) Trust Me, Its Hard To Find A Blog With A Favorite Picture Of Dorothy Kilgallen! Its Hard To Find Anyone Who Even Knows Her Name, Haha
Yeah; Me & my friend are sorta obsessed with her story; she’s pretty amazing. Do you have a theory on her death?
You're Welcome (: And Thank You!
I've Honestly Never Came Across A Blog With So Many Old Hollywood (Well, Old New York As Well) That I Love!
Merci buckets!!
I Only Saw The First Page...But I'm Already In LOVE With Your Blog!!! :D
Thank-you! Your blog is pretty shnazzy too!
I have just decided that my favorite composers are George & Ira Gershwin; sorta predictable don't you think?
