Lana and Rita Hayworth celebrate America. Circa 1942. Lou Valentino Collection B) Crown Drive: Where Lana was living when she married Bob Topping in April of 1948. Lana balked at having the wedding ceremony here, complaining that the house was "too small". Lana and Topping's wedding (which turned into a three-ring circus, due to the intrusion of the press) was held at the home of reporter Billy Wilkerson, who had discovered Lana while she was drinking a soda, a dozen years before.
Stevens's discovery wasn't quite as serendipitous as Lana Turner's in Schwab's coffee shop, but it was, in part, by chance. Several of the producers of the film, including Gary Ross, the screenwriter and director, attended this year's Kentucky Derby. According to Thomas, they met the 39-year-old Stevens at a dinner that week, and were struck by how closely Stevens resembles Woolf in appearance. "He's a really good-looking guy. He looks like Woolf. And he's the right age," Thomas said.

A headline on the cover of Dante's old press kit announces that he was Lana Turner's seventh husband. But it wouldn't be until years later that his name would come up again, in a different kind of headline.
