I know Raft did have some genuine affairs with actresses.

I'm 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down - at least he did until he dropped dead.

All kinds of celebrities, political ones as well, are increasingly being targeted. In this country, with all the countless guns.

I was born in the USA, which many people still find hard to believe.

That is perceptive of you, because in this country men dancers have always been viewed with suspicion. If you were an actor, a star, and a dancer, you had to be, or have a name like someone mainstream.

I was out dancing with one actress or another. And that got press. Even when it didn't, the whole town knew I was a dancing fool, and since I couldn't very well dance with a man, they saw me dancing with a lady, and they assumed the rest.

They would glue the wig to the front of my forehead, and after a while it would give me a headache.
