Sources? Possible incorrect info?
Hi, all.
LOVE Mr Ballen. Gotta say that first right off the bat.
Huge fan...but I've noticed something that kind of gave me pause.
I often look up some of the stories after I watch or listen to get any details maybe left out, and usually I find his stories are fairly accurate, except of course for the dramatic additions...BUT on a few occasions I could find nothing at all.
Case in point: the recent video about Carolyn Jones (the actress who portrayed Morticia Addams). In his telling, >!at the age of 8 she answered a phone during a Easter party at neighbor's house... a call which turned out to be from someone who'd died the year before. !<
Curious to see if there was ever a logical explanation for this, and I could not find anything on it. On the contrary, the biographical info I found stated not only was her mom an agoraphobic who wouldn't leave the house for years at a time, but Carolyn herself was so asthmatic she couldn't attend school, couldn't go to the movies, couldn't play outside. The chances of her >!attending an Easter party at a neighbors or of her mom "making an effort to get to know the neighbors"!< are slim.
Does anyone know the source he used for the story? Honestly, it doesn't matter to me if the story was embellished or mistaken (I always check anyway), but I'd love to see what the source for this one in particular was. Anyone know?
