11 June 50 gets an interlocutory divorce decree from Turner in Los Angeles
26 June 51 wins her final divorce decree from Turner in Los Angeles. Turner says they were reconciled after she won an interlocutory decree in June 1950. They lived together in a Chicago apartment in the same manner they did during `the happiest days of their married life," he says. Mimi says they had occasional dates, but there was no real reconciliation. She had broken her leg in three places, she says, and was using a wheelchair at the time. She contends that a legal reconciliation would mean setting up housekeeping like any other married couple, but that her injury was proof she was unable to do that.
