-Caveat Lector- http://www.bmonster.com/bulletin.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- King Hussein and his sci-fi Queen Coverage of the recent passing of Jordan's King Hussein somehow managed to omit one of the most interesting passages in his life (by our skewed standards, anyway): His fling with (actress) Susan Cabot (Viking Women and the Sea Serpent, War of the Satellites, The Wasp Woman). The two met in 1959, when Hussein was touring Hollywood; two days later, the 23-year-old monarch canceled his plans to visit an Air Force base and abruptly left his L.A. entourage in order to spend a day in Palm Springs with 32-year-old Cabot. A week later, both were in New York, with Cabot telling reporters that she was there to audition for a part in a Broadway show (which she wouldn't name). Their alleged affair lasted several months, and then Cabot dropped out of sight -- and perhaps surreptitiously visited him in his homeland. The romance ended, friends say, when Hussein found out she was Jewish. (Hussein to his army at the outset of the Six-Day War: "Kill the Jews wherever you find them; kill them with your arms, with your hands, with your nails and teeth.") Cabot was bludgeoned to death by her own 22-year-old son Timothy in 1986; many of the articles about her murder mentioned her affair with Hussein and ran his photo. Reports that Timothy had been fathered by Hussein later surfaced, with the kid's lawyer trying to get his client moved from one jail to another because "religious Arabs would not look favorably upon a descendant [of Mohammed] who was half Jewish, and might try to kill him." Actor Christopher Jones (Wild in the Streets, Ryan's Daughter) later came forward and said he was Timothy's father, which seems more likely to me; I knew both Susan and Timothy, and the kid could not have looked more "white bread." But how do we explain the fact that Cabot was the recipient of $1500-a-month payments from Hussein -- payments that (according to Timothy's lawyer) "look like child support"? The Jordan government could not be reached for comment. -- TOM WEAVER DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
