"I’m not bisexual and I’m not straight. I’m gay, but I could never live a gay lifestyle because I’m much too competitive.

With a woman you compete like crazy, but coming from different points of view, and as far as I’m concerned, that was doable." - Jack Wrangler
As we wish a very happy 85th birthday to the lovely singer Margaret Whiting, it is worth reflecting upon her rather unconventional life and marriage.
