    1940s star Dinah Shore was older, and very lucky to have the biggest sex star of the 70s for a while.

    Of course she was older but he led her on. Also, she was big through the 50s. I remember her well.

    His break up with Loni Anderson didn't go so well, either.

    Are breakups supposed to go well when every woman in the country is lusting after you? He broke up with women every day.

    On Johnny Carson, the girls yelled to him from the audience, and he said, "Aw, meet me in the parking lot." That got a laugh. Another time I saw him on TV, a cameraman followed him around. Some cute blonde spotted him and followed as he used vending machines, trying to get lucky.

    Thanks Burt, for being a liberal, humorous sex star, not like the militaristic hard guy stuffy movie stars before and after you. You are a hero to us sexual revolutionaries of the 60s and 70s. And thank you, Helen Gurley Brown, for making him famous.

    He made commitments to those two women. I guess it bothers me because I expect people to try to live up to their commitments.

    I've never read that until now. Do you have evidence?

    Also...you know that Hollywood marriages are almost always temporary, don't you?

    Well they hardly fall under the definition of, a covenant between a man and a woman, before their God, an their people.
    But then, perhaps that's just the difference between Hollywood and the places we live.
