What’s the Question?
DEAK DeCANTIS (50’s)
After Marilyn divorced Frank, she dated Deak DeCantis, an Italian. He took her to look for a house and they had a blood test to get married. After an evening out they pulled up to Grandma’s house where Marilyn lived with her two girls and he told her to leave her girls with her mom. Shocked, Marilyn said that she would never leave her kids! With that, the engagement was off! To add insult to injury, Deak married another woman one week later and actually used Marilyn’s blood test! And Marilyn would say,“You wonder why I hate Italian men?! They are sneaky!”
