Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Why wouldn't she get her DNA tested? There's got to be money in that estate. Quote
Christiern Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 I think this might very likely be true. Louis had no great love for Lucille and he would have left her in a NY minute, but he knew she'd raise all kinds of hell—with assist from her running buddy, PR woman Phoebe Jacobs. I was told this by several intimates while working on the Lil Armstrong book that I never finished. Quote
Dan Gould Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 The article makes it clear that he believed she was his daughter and treated her as such (well kind of) ... with no 'official' kids, is there anyone alive for a DNA test to absolutely confirm? Quote
