Booth's mistress, Ella Starr, and other "unknown" Booth ladies!

Good point, Jerry. Both actors and politicians have large egos that like to be stroked. About 10 years ago, I was representing the Trooper's association at a political fundraiser. Most of those present were state Senators and Assemblymen. The only person I knew there was a rep from our PR firm. He pulled me aside and said no matter what they tell you - they're here because they care about this issue or that issue - the only reason they're all here is because of their egos.
