So, I'm reading a news story and a side picture of Jay North as Dennis the Menace catches my eye.
I look closer and see it is one of those 'sponsored' news items so instead of clicking it, I look up Jay on IMDB.
Under 'Trivia' the first entry says Jay is active in Paul Petersen's "A Minor Consideration".
I look up Paul Petersen on IMDB and see that his first wife was Brenda Benet and that Brenda was seeing Bill Bixby before Paul and Brenda divorced.
I look up Brenda on IMDB and find out she married Bill soon after divorcing Paul, got divorced by Bill ten years later after having his son, then committed suicide months after her son died and a couple of years after the divorce from Bill.
BTW: the son died during a skiing trip they were on with a bi male friend of hers. A sudden and rare throat infection they called it (early '80's during the rage of AIDS and deaths from rare opportunistic diseases) is what he died from.
Brenda's body was found by her lesbian lover.
I looked up Bill and find that he and Brenda first met when she was 18, years before she married Paul.
I also find that Bill and costar Brandon Cruz (Courtship of Eddie's Father) had a close working and personal relationship since being on TV together.
So I looked up Brandon and find that he is a charter member of "A Minor Consideration".
Jay once said, "Goodbye, Hollywood. Thanks for nothing."
Paul maintains, "Hollywood would save Bosnia before the life of a single child actor."
Brandon claims, "you could not pay anybody to say a bad word about Bill. He was giving to a fault, basically."
Could you pay anybody NOT to say a bad word about Bill?
