OK, who's the blond with Mickey Cohen? (Hint: No, it's not Walter O'Malley).
- Elizabeth Montgomery? An intriguing guess--Elizabeth Montgomery and Mickey Cohen. But no.
- Lili St. Cyr? Good guess, but Lili would be a bit older than this woman.
- Tempest Storm? Right church, wrong pew. So to speak.
- Liz Renay? Interesting guess. But no.
- Candy Barr? (R.J. Smith, Los Angeles Magazine, who was 30 minutes ahead of Chris Morales).
Absolutely right! At the Hall of Justice, Sgt. Eugene Gabriel listens as Mickey Cohen expresses outrage over the April 30, 1959, arrest of Candy Barr at the Largo Club on the Sunset Strip. Cohen, who had a ringside seat for Barr's act, was incensed when deputies arrested her after a Texas bail bondsman canceled her bond in a narcotics case. Cohen later told newsmen that he hoped to marry Barr after his divorce to LaVonne Cohen was final, The Times said.

That's too easy! It's my favorite stripper, Juanita Phillips (AKA: Candy Barr.) I saw her many times, and IMHO, she had the most beautiful body that I've ever seen.
Yer pal, Bill Hilser

What a gal! What a name!
They don't make 'em like that anymore. Do they?

Are you sure it's Candy Barr? Walter O'Malley sure was one attractive dish back then.
Keep 'em coming Larry!
