If movies had nutritional value, this would be a bowl of Cap’n Crunch.

…but if they made a movie about Corinne Griffith it would be a steak dinner. She was a real estate tycoon. She married multiple times, and during one divorce proceeding she tried to get out of paying alimony by claiming that Corinne Griffith was dead and she was actually Corinne’s little sister. And later she changed her story and claimed that she was Mary, Corinne’s identical twin, who took over her sister’s life when Corinne unexpectedly died in Mexico. Billy Wilder’s second to last film Fedora was inspired by her story.
