Who was married to a guy booted out of his OSC training. Here is the excerpt from Jimmie Monteith’s letter to his father:
"These people don't care who you are and/or where you come from, when they don't think you measure up to standards, they put you out. Since I have been here, the boy who married Corbina Wright, movie queen, and Gov. O'Danniel's son of Texas have been put out."
The following 2 paragraphs were pulled from Corbina Wright’s IMDb trivia about her husband that Jimmie Monteith referred to in the letter to his dad:
Husband Palmer Beaudette, was an heir to a vast fortune. When he died of a heart in 1968, Corbina Jr. found that their spacious Carmel Valley home was all she owned. Palmer’s share of his father‘s estate reverted, as per his father‘s will, back to Palmer‘s brothers and sisters.
Both Corbina & her husband were alcoholics. Following his death and her own recovery she devoted much of her time to volunteering and programs at Beacon house. She also served on the board of the national council on alcoholism.
Sounds like the military was a pretty good judge of character.
