He was a great actor..the best screen 'cad' ever..some think he never got over the death of his brother, Tom Conway, who he persuaded to come to Hollywood, and who did well for years but drank himself into poverty and early death

I see now that you own me, Addison, but I can't possibly perform tonight. Please bring me my sable and my Sarah Siddens award?

Christmas with George and Zsa Zsa

http://selfstyledsiren.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-with-george-and-zsa-zsa.html

Late at night on Christmas Eve, wearing dirty blue jeans, a sweatshirt and a beard, wearing dirty blue jeans, a sweatshirt and a beard, accompanied by two detectives and carrying a brick that he had carefully gift-wrapped, he stealthily crossed the lawn of Zsa Zsa's house and placed a ladder against the wall. Followed by the detectives, he then climbed to the balcony outside her window. All was silent and dark inside when abruptly he shattered the glass with the brick, opened the catch, stepped into the room, turned on the light and, holding out his gift package, said "Merry Christmas, my dear!" Zsa Zsa's companion sprang up and rushed into the bathroom--too late, for the detectives had got their incriminating photos before the sleepers could realize what was happening.

Zsa Zsa behaved with perfect aplomb. Smiling and putting a lacy dressing gown, she said, "George darling! How lovely to see you! You are just in time to get your Christmas present, which is under the tree. Let's go down and have a glass of champagne and I will give it to you." She led the way downstairs, laughing gaily, gave George his present, gift-wrapped, and poured champagne for the detectives, who were enchanted with her. Indeed a good time seems to have been had by all on that festive occasion, except by the gentleman in the bathroom.

When the impending divorce was announced, their statements to the press were brief and typical. "George is a wonderful man and I shall always love him," said Zsa Zsa. "I have been cast aside like a squeezed lemon," said George.
