now. Is she still alive? They adopted a daughter in 1957, just before
he died. The kid would be 49 now.

...newsreel footage of the McCarthy wedding reception was incorporated
into the opening sequence of THE FRONT...

I laugh when I read the word "staffer" as applied to Jean Kerr. On
the Internet, you can also find such quaint descriptives like ...
"receptionist," "researcher," "secretary" and "aide."
Jean Kerr was not only the driving force behind McCarthy ... she was
1000 times worse.
She was a lot more than his chief staffer ... She not only wrote his
speeches but "McCarthyism: The Fight for America" is almost all Jean
Kerr's work.
It was also Jean Kerr (The Beast With Horns) who was behind McCarthy's
attack on George Marshall and it was Kerr who was responsible for the
*photograph* of Millard Tydings and Earl Browder, the Communist Party
leader.
The constant leaks about McCarthy being a homosexual were in
retaliation for the sleazy things Jean Kerr set in motion.
Jean Kerr (McCarthy) Minetti died in 1979.

...thus, I assume, Kerr was the pattern source for Raymond Shaw's mother
in THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE as much as Johnny Iselin was an analogue for
Tail Gunner Joe?...

I really liked her play "Please Don't Eat the Daisies," though. ;-)
