The conventional wisdom is——Robert Mitchum—-didn’t give a hoot for anyone or anything—-total insouciance—-
In an interview—-—Deborah Kerr—- his co-star in “Heaven Knows Mr. Allison”/1957—-—said Mitchum’s air of indifference was all untrue.
—-“All the rumors of indifference are all untrue: booze, broads, brawls. Go ahead and make some up if you want”——-
Ms. Kerr autographed her kerchief, then gave to my youngest daughter circa 1970.
