Stephen Crane, who was owner of the Luau restaurant in Beverly Hills. He was "The Man Who Loved Women". And the Luau was arguably (??) where Tiki-style was first originated. And as documented in BOT… "…Steve show(ed) up three consecutive nights with Ava Garnder, Rita Hayworth, and Lana Turner." "This town's top three queens ! I never saw anyone do that." ...as the owner of Ciro's nightclub remarked. He was Poly-Pop's original mack daddy !! (And a one-time Mr. Lana Turner). EDIT - Bora Boris answered the question 2 minutes prior to this post so he gets the Tiki credit. Boris, I'm updating your entry in my TC Excel spreadsheet. :) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-06-05 14:46 ]
