Marvin learned the hard way MARINA DEL REY, Calif. (AP) Michelle Triola Marvin, actor Lee Marvin's former mate who sued him for millions in palimony but never got a penny, says she has a written contract with her new mate. Marvin vs. Marvin, filed in 1972 seeking $1.8 million, ended in 1981 when the state Court of Appeal overturned a 1979 order that Ms.

Marvin be paid $104,000. She contended, under California palimony law allowing unwed partners to sue for community property, that Marvin owed her half his earnings for the years they spent together. She said in Los Angeles Times interview published Monday that she's now living with another man. Ms. Marvin, 50, would not talk about her new relationship except to say it's 8 years old and "completely different" from the life she led with Marvin.

She wouldn't identify the man. "I'm not ashamed of what I was asking for," she said of the palimony case. "I would do it all over again." "I've always been a survivor. They really took me down a step. I had no idea it was going to be that kind of trial.

It was treated like divorce used to be treated, digging up garbage." Now an avowed feminist, she says she advises women never to "give up their identity." "That's the worst thing I did," she said. "I gave up my total identity for the breadwinner of the She said she's been working on a book "about me, not about Lee Marvin." Thornton fest planned by town FAISON, N.C.

(AP) An attorney for soul singer Harold Melvin says the drug charges against him are "absolutely untrue" and he will plead innocent at his arraignment.

Harper was working half-days as a typist and cocktail waitress. "It was trying to get people to take me seriously as an she told the Dallas Times Herald.

"I told her he was the one who played Boo Radley in 'To Kill a Mockingbird," said Ms. Harper.

"There was a pause, and then she said, 'But isn't he Mercies' opened a lot of doors for me," she said.
