Interesting freebie from Amazon, Hollywood Stories: a Book about Celebrities, Movie Stars, Gossip, Directors, Famous People, History, and more! by Stephen Schochet.

Trivia from the book:

"Even after his frustrated siblings put him on an allowance, Chico [Marx] continued to blow his meager funds till the end of his life. But once, the skirt-chasing comic scored big on an unlikely life-and-death long shot. After losing to mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel (1901-1947) in a high-stakes poker game, Chico paid him off with a bad check. The hot-tempered thug was gunned down in a probable gangland hit before he tried to cash it."

What crap!

Dude, I went to the trouble to download the Kindle reader and the book, but it's nothing but a compilation of questionable anecdotes from IMDB.

Dude, I am so sorry you went

Dude, I am so sorry you went to all that trouble for naught, Please accept my sincerest apology. My webmaster Verdelia Wearybottom will happily send you a gift card good for every penny you paid for this travesty.

Or she may just tell you to stick it where the monkey put the nuts; she's getting a bit cranky in her old age.
