Loretta Young's half sister, Georgiana, WAS married to Ricardo Montalban..they had 4 children. Loretta, whose real name was Gretchen, had two older sisters, both actresses...Polly Ann Young and Sally Blayne. Loretta had a daughter out of wedlock, sired by Clark Gable--he was married at the time. The girl was raised to believe she was adopted and never knew who her real father was until she became a mother herself. Back to the dogs..Franklin Delano Roosevelt also had a German Shepherd, named Major. Herbert Hoover had one named King Tut., and Rutherford B. Hayes had two. Other celebrities who had German Shepherds (but probably didn't breed them) were/are: Bing Crosby, Yvonne DeCarlo, Bo Derek (has several), Phyllis Diller, Shannon Doherty, Mike Douglas, Irene Dunne, Joan Fontaine, Sigmund Freud's daughter Anna, Eva Gabor, (more than one), Zsa Zsa Gabor, (more than one), Steffi Graf, George Hamilton, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope had several, Elton John, Carol Lawrence, David Letterman, Konrad Lorenz, Robert Ludlum, Bela Lugosi, Pablo Picasso, Joan Rivers, Gene Roddenberry (creator of Star Trek), Sidney Sheldon, Talia Shire, Sam Snead, Reggie Williams, and many others. That stupid Senator Santorum, lest we forget, not only has a German Shepherd, but he bred her. This after complaining everywhere that she didn't have a good temperament!
