From The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, October 21, 1949

Not sure what this article was trying to do or if it was planted but it has some interesting quotes about her marriage to Vic which make it feel forced, such as:

I can’t say marriage comes first,“ says blue-eyed Mary.  "Music comes first with me.  It comes first with my husband, and our marriage fits in.”

and..

He was disgustingly precocious then,: quoth Mary, “but he’s extremely likeable now.”

WALTER WINCHELL AND MARY

From Walter Winchell’s column, Herald Journal, October 12, 1965.  Walter wrote a lot about Mary and had her back in the divorce against her husband.  I really don’t want to say he was the Perez Hilton of our time, but the truth is gossip has been around for quite a long time.  Some writers were / are more elegant than others.  I put Walter in both camps.  His style wasn’t egalitarian, but he also was fairly more educated than today’s “celebrity journalists.”

Here he is at his birthday in 1953 with Marilyn Monroe, and plenty of other classic celebrities and studio heads.
