Jackie Coogan's Luck is Out
Folk out here are feeling sorry for Jackie Coogan, who, since his split with Betty Grable, seems to have no luck at all.
When the Coogan lawsuits were at their height, the two of them were married. I wrote Jackie’s life story about that time, went to see the pair of them often at their very modest Westwood- home, and they certainly appeared in love —as, indeed, they were. Then came the separation and the divorce, Betty left Hollywood—Little Miss Nobody—went to Broadway, made a hit in “Dubarry Was a Lady,” returned to Hollywood a star. Now she is up, and “The Kid” is down. v But Betty is sticking up for him through the latest bother over his publicised effort to become a civilian instructor for the Canadian Air Force. She says he did noi have enough hours in the air to qualify for an instructors
“Jackie is feelinjgj pretty low these clays,” said Betty. “I hate to see people pick bn him.” They, had dinner together the other evening for the first -time since their separation.
