I think Miranda was a great friend to some very lonely men and was smart enough to leave it in the end with a dial tone. She knew she wasn't attractive enough to be on the arm of any of these men. Very sad, isn't it. She unlocked something in their hearts based on respect and kindness. And that is truly the foundation of a great relationship.

How can anyone take that freaky, creepy hairdresser seriously?! " Cheryl's " cliaim to fame" (!!!) is being a murderess" ( his words) OMG ! he is a nobody! No her " claim to fame " is INHERITED BY BIRTH she never asked to be born to a star , but she is a legacy and I find her story very credible! I think he was enraged and being a 14 year old, naturally she would be afraid to " rush him" it could very easily been he simply did not see or expect the knife and possibly holding it in both hands (at her waist as anyone could do if someone was suddenly running towards you he did run into it! His mid section is obviously exactly where he would be stabbed and confirms her story! (IMHO)
Certainly she would have been reluctant as any sane person would to have this shadow over her life. the thought that Lana Turner would "confide" to her hairdresser ( and give me a break abt the dying bit! ) is sick! I admire that she won't even dignify this parasite with a response!

The alcohol in her system of course impaired her judgement and decision making ability but to portray this woman as some lush is very insulting and also to blame her husband is sickening!

don't kno if it's mentioned but I recall the coroners report ( I worked for another coroner at the time in another state) and remember vividly being told or reading that Mrs Wood had on a down filled jacket and this extra weight ( with water added) had caused/ and or contributed to her drowning- has she removed it she may have lived. ( not blaming her of course just thought people should know the danger )

I think what cops & the courts forget when investigating and trying celebs is, THEY ARE ACTORS/ACTRESSES.

By the way, I've just finished Cheryl Crane's novel that they mention in the show. I haven't read many murder mysteries so I don't know how it compares to others, but I thought it was a good book.

Rich Men seem to need a "Miranda" as they marry the beautiful bimbo. Does it matter if it is Male or female? Men seems to want it all yet if we had to judge them and their bodies we would die laughing. Being real would be the best.

Come on...they were drinking heavily. They fought. Robert Wagner passes out in bed and Natalie ventures up on deck and falls over board. An Accident.

If there were this woman Miranda, I do not think the journalist finally really talked to her. Could have been any random woman - without proof does not believe in her identity.
