Sharmagne Leland-St. John identifies some photos for us...

I first met Jay Sebring around May 31, 1965. It was my girlfriend Catherine's sweet 16 birthday and her party was going to be at Jay's Easton Drive home. The former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern.

Catherine was living upstairs in the home of Jim Dickson the manager of the Byrds, Odetta, Paul Revere and the Raiders and several other rock and roll bands. She came downstairs where I was living in Michael Clarke's recently vacated apartment under Jim's house and asked if I could get some celebrities to come to her party. So I called the salon and told Charlene that I was Catherine's social secretary I asked her to please give me the phone numbers for certain celebrities.  I gave her a list of the ones I wanted. At first she didn't want to give them to me. So I asked her to run it by Mr. Sebring.  She came back a few minutes later gave me George Hamilton and a few others on the list.

Catherine's mother, who was married to Travis Edmonds from the folk duo Bud and Travis was supposed to turn up to drive us there but she was late and we weren't sure how we were going to get to the party. We lived on Hillside Drive up in the hills behind the Continental Hyatt House house aka "Riot House" and Jay's home was way up Benedict Canyon.

My former boyfriend whom I had recently broken up with showed up at my door for some reason, so we enlisted him to drive us to the party.

We parked the car and made our way down a long flight of slate steps to the front door.

The first thing we were asked as we entered the high beam ceilinged living room of this Tudor style mini mansion, was, "Would you like some punch? It has acid in it!"

We three all imbibed.

I think David Astor is the first person (on the far left), then it's Alex Cord (for Sure), and Me.

Gene, Roman, Connie Kreski, Victor Lownes

Gene Gutofsky (He died this year. He was Roman's Longest time best friend). He was married for a bit to my friend Corinna Liddel (her great Aunt was Alice Liddel Alice in Wonderland).

Henry Fonda (Jay used to cut his hair) and Kirk Douglas (Jay created the haircut for Spartacus).

Ian Quarrier (actor friend of Roman), Sid Kaiser (Drug Dealer), Sheila Wells (Sharon's best friend forever), Freddy Bier (Sheila's late husband).

John and Michele Phillips née Gilliam. We used to spend many an evening at their home in BEl Air. They lived in the old Jeanette MacDonald/Gordan MacRae Mansion complete with moat.

Ian Quarrier, Sid Kaiser, and unidentified woman *(Sid died around '73). Ian was almost there that night, but got hung up on a shoot in the desert. Lady Patricia Pelham-Clinton-Hope knows the whole story.  She was in London with Roman supposedly, when the call came in. They had been riding around Chelsea in a rolls royce drinking champagne with Maurice André and someone else. Maybe Tony Greenberg, because they all wound up at Aratuso (sp) afterward.  I am confused about this.  Trisha claims the call came in to Aratuso, but I read somewhere that  he was at the hotel.  Richard my late husband told me Dr. Tony came to the hotel and gave him a sedative to knock him out or calm him down.

Steve and Neile McQueen (Possibly Geraldine Chaplin) and Warren Beatty.  I think I mentioned, Warren is my daughter's god-father.

Simone Hessera was a very close friend of ours part of the Brain Morris, Mr. Hatami crowd and they all lived at the Chateau Marmont as did Roman and Sharon.

Victor Lownes  and Connie Kreski. Connie was Playmate of the year and generally that spot was reserved for Victor's girlfriends!  Victor hosted the first of the London Wedding receptions after the wedding at the registrar's office.
