Bordello edit
The article says, "Author E. J. Fleming writing in his 2004 book, The Fixers: Eddie Mannix, Howard Strickling and the MGM Publicity Machine, states that when she ceased making films at the end of the silent era, she ran a high class bordello in an exclusive part of the Los Angeles area. Bennett's girls were made up to look like movie stars of the period, even undergoing surgical alterations to achieve the illusion." Actually, that is not quite what the book says. Page 95 of the cited book says, "... the establishment was managed by a woman named Billie Bennett, who looked and spoke like Mae West."
Was the Billie Bennett who ran the bordello the same Billie Bennett who was an actress? If so, I wonder why Fleming did not mention that fact. Should we perhaps reword or omit this part of the article? Eddie Blick (talk) 03:30, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
