A while back I saw a British documentary on Confiential Magazine and the effect it had on Hollywood in the 1950s. One of the persons interviewed recalled Francesca de Scaffa as the wife of Bruce Cabot and also an informant for Confidential who said that she would get any information even if she had to sleep with the person to get it. I did some research on her and found out that she did appear in a couple Hollywood films, was married to Cabot for a short time and had a daughter Alphonsine with him. But when the Confidential magazine trials began in the mid-1950s she was mentioned and denounced: she fled the country and went to Mexico to avoid a court appearance. Apparently she married a bullfighter but was trying to get back to the States to get her daughter. After that I have no information on her - I know this is a tough one but I wondering if anyone knew what happened to her??? Thanks Jay
