Maybe the nigger baby story is true, but it would have been completely hushed up and the baby whisked away.

She certainly did a lot of bed-hopping with everyone from Andy Williams to Burt Reynolds, but no niggers are mentioned, of course, so who knows?
I don't know either way. It was long enough ago that though it was no big deal for a Hollywood actress to have an affair, an affair with a nigger was still scandalous, hence her explanation of a "black ancestor" and a "black skin" gene that passed through.
