Lila Leeds, (1928-1999)

Born Lila Lee Wilkinson in Iola, Kansas, Leeds ran away from home as a teen. She worked as a dancer in St. Louis before moving to Los Angeles. While working as a hatcheck girl at Ciro's, she met and married actor, composer, singer and conductor Jack Little. The marriage was annulled when Leeds discovered that Little was still married.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"></sup> After taking an acting course at the Bliss-Hayden School of Acting, Leeds signed with MGM and began appearing in film roles.
On September 1, 1948, Leeds gained notoriety for being arrested together with actor Robert Mitchum on charges of marijuana possession. She subsequently spent sixty days in jail.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"></sup> Although she starred in She Shoulda Said No! (1949) following her release from prison, her acting career never really recovered from the episode.

DANGER!!!!!!!







Robert Mitchum and Lila headed into the clink for Marijuana, you know, pot, weed, scramble grass, etc....the maker of dull boys, loose guys and incredible profits for pizza joints and snack food

My wife kept a few bikes from her dad's store, including her FairLady and an early StingRay - has to be from '62 or so, and 2 or 3 others I can't remember the names of them. One is a boys 26" 3speed. She also has several boxes of parts from the store. On the 'to-do' list to restore one or two of the old Schwinns.
