Ms Jacobson,
Love all your books on old Hollywood history & scandals & the such. Keep em coming! Any plans for more like these in the near future?
Question for you. Do you have any info concerning the rumor of Patricia Van Cleeve Lake being the child of Marion Davies & William Randolph Hearst? Is there any evidence? Why don't the children or grandchildren write a book? Any info is greatly appreciated.
I am a very big lover of old Hollywood & the mysteries & scandals.

Hi Raymond,
Thanks for your kind words about my books...really appreciate it.
My latest is my husband's autobiography: Timmy's in the Well, the Jon Provost Story and I'm really pleased with it.

As far as your questions, I do not know about Patricia VC Lake. I know Marion had abortions, but
I was never aware of a rumor that she'd actually had a child. I doubt it.
The children and grandchildren -- like Patty Hearst! -- they had their own problems to deal with. I think they
are more interested in carrying on the family's legacy and contributions, not its scandals.

Stay in touch!
Best,
Laurie

Jon and I had fun this morning with Mr. Media! Check it out -- a one hour interview...

Our recent book signings have been capacity crowds. And maybe some of you have seen the wonderful Bob Thomas piece for AP that's been circulating the press, here in full on the TODAY Show website:

I was just invited to speak at a ghost conference in October in Las Vegas, so I'm excited! Too bad Jon will be in Branson then...guess I'll just have to have fun on my own. Can't wait to see my pals Beverly Washburn, Cynthia Pepper and Billy Hinsche (from Dino, Desi and...). More on that and other upcoming news soon.

Be well!
