Wasn't Mr. Cotten a member of CFA?

He was, indeed. Somewhere in my 17 trunks, I have a roster in which Cotten listed his actual street address, something unheard of for a film star, and gave his occupation as Thespian. He was the good brother in DUEL IN THE SUN, challenging a nasty Greg Peck for the half-breed siren, Pearl, played with unforgettable allure by Jennifer Jones. One of Cotten's best efforts was as Marilyn Monroe's murderous husband in NIAGARA.

Somewhere in our disorganized files (100% my fault) there is an 8x10 of Mr Cotton on either the Cole or A RB lot. He may have even appeared in an old White Tops.
