Robert:
I missed your Aug. 1 post and have just read it now. Thanks for sharing that story. I have often heard that Rene (or Renee, as she was in later years) was the inspiration for THS’s name change, but it’s great to have it confirmed first-hand.
I’m working on Rene’s story in view of doing a book or at least a series of articles. It’s been a privilege to talk to those who knew Rene, and get their memories of her. She seems to have made a special impression on everyone. I’d like to quote your comments about Rene. May I contact you for an interview?

PS) Roy, Moss Hart gets a few mentions in Rene Harris’ unpublished memoir "My Scrambled Autobiography" and in the early 60s Life Magazine published the Rene excerpts from Moss’ book along with a nice photo of Rene. I don’t recall the exact date of that issue off-hand.
