Thanks crofter. I was looking for any ST Seven references and missed the other heading.
Even Ringo said the other three were, "All frustrated drummers." which didn't help. I also knew of J.L's. quote, but couldn't remember the context.

1: This ref states 32 days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Merman#Pers onal_life
On checking Borgnine I find, again, that the marriage lasted 'a little over a month.'
