Grace's married sister cared for Marilyn during a transitional period. When Gladys was institutionalized, she appointed her friend Grace Goddard as Marilyn's guardian. Marilyn then came to live with Gladys, who bought a black piano for Marilyn. TRUTH: Marilyn lived with the Bollender family until she was seven years old, when her mother Gladys was able to buy a house. MTYH: Marilyn was shuffled among countless foster homes. Marilyn was born with beautiful blue eyes. (This section is decicated to student researchers, with great appreciation.) Larry did eventually broadcast a correction. In the meantime, we did a mass mailing to friends and relatives. We asked Larry to broadcast a correction. On a caller to LARRY KING LIVE asked, "How are Marilyn's sister and niece? We don't hear much about them." Larry directed the question to guest Jim Dougherty, who replied, (obviously ailing, thinking of Bebe Goddard, the stepdaughter of Grace Goddard), "Bebe passed away last year from smoking too many cigarettes." Larry left the remark uncorrected, in spite of having invited Berniece and me to appear on LARRY KING LIVE two weeks earlier. Berniece wants everyone to know she never smoked cigarettes.
