Many of you no doubt already know that there's a new book about Sunny Sund (Don Beach's first wife) out now, written by her daughter: https://www.amazon.com/Sunny-Sund-Behind-Beachcomber-Hollywood-ebook/dp/B0CPTJZ4TT I thought this passage was a mind-blower: "Her daily routine was a testament to her unwavering dedication to a unique cocktail diet: Salty Dogs for breakfast, Bloody Marys for lunch, with a midday switch to vodka Gibsons that surely kept her on her toes. After an afternoon nap, she'd kick off the evening with Old Fashioneds, then swing back to vodka before dinner. As a grand finale, she'd gracefully sip scotch to round off the night before passing out. And on those rare occasions when she craved dessert, a Pernod on the rocks might do the trick." Not surprisingly, she died of cirrhosis of the liver at age 64. |
