Guest Sol-- There is some doubt as to the origin of the 'good time girl' quotation. Hollywood columnist, Earl Wilson, in a 1946 book gives credit for it to a British actress, Leonora Corbett. Apparently he does not date the origin, nor the object of the jibe. Bette Davis has also been credited with naming a little gold statuette Oscar. It is the story I choose to believe because I worked for nearly two years with the man who was the inspiration for her so naming it. There are several other stories that are just as possible, or just as far-fetched.
