IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN THREE'S .... MARTY ALLEN ... THEN VIC DAMONE. HERE IS MY QUICK VIC DAMONE STORY. I WAS VISITING MY FAMILY IN NEW YORK CITY ... WE WENT TO THE OPENING OF THE PLAY "SHOWBOAT" ON BRAODWAY ... WE GOT 5TH. ROW SEATS ... BEFORE THE CURTAIN WENT UP, I NOTICED VIC & HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE "DIANE CARROLL" SITTING RIGHT BEHIND US. .... I TURNED AROUND AND SAID ... HEY VIC ... HOW DID I GET A BETTER SEAT THAN YOU? .... HE CAME RIGHT BACK AT ME AND SAID ... I'M CHEAP! .... WE BOTH LAUGHED AND AFTER THE PLAY I GOT TO SHAKE BOTH OF THEIR HANDS .... A VERY CLASSY COUPLE. R.I.P. VIC
