Martin Melcher????

Stephen Crane - last picture is Lana Turner and Cheryl Crane at murder trial of Johnny Stompanato

Hey, is that Stephen Crane?

Whether it is or not, the IMDb has Crane married to Lana at the same time as Carol Ann Kurtz, and then re-married to Lana just weeks before their daughter was born. I think I need to find a bio of Lana, stat!

Mr. Stephen Crane, et al

Whoever it is with Crane, looks like they are in Romanoff's

Should have been obvious. Especially in the shot with Cybil Brand. Doh!... Wondering if Ms. Brand is aware she is visiting a jail that will soon be named after her?
