Was looking at some old Time magazines at the library, and among the things I learned was that Shirley MacLaine and Pete Hamill (the journalist/Blood On The Tracks liner notes guy) were a couple for 5 years in the '70s.

Trivia about that: They had first met in Rome in 1966, then a second time in '68 during Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign, but really got together around 1970 after Hamill read Maclaine's first book Don't Fall Off the Mountain and realized the two were both fans of the fictional character Bomba the Jungle Boy. Hamill tried to get her to move into his house in Brooklyn (a few doors up from where I live now), but Shirley didn't bite (Pete was also living with his two daughters at the time). Right around this time, 1970-1971, Maclaine appeared in the film Desperate Characters which was shot partially in Hamill's neighborhood, coincidentally or not. Shirley is credited with being the first woman served a drink at Farrell's Bar, one of Pete's old Brooklyn watering holes.

don’t know where to put this so:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Brandon_(actor)?wprov=sfti1
Brandon married in 1941, the marriage produced one son before ending in 1946.[2] He subsequently had a long relationship with the actor Mark Herron.[3] Herron left Brandon in the mid-1960s, and was briefly the fourth husband of Judy Garland. Herron and Garland separated after five months of marriage, after which Herron returned to Brandon and remained with him until Brandon's death.
