Bacchanal Wanted Instead of Funeral
HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) — Actor Wayne Morris wrote his own final script in his own handwriting—a will in which he asked that $300 be spent for booze and canapes instead of a funeral so his friends wouldn't go away sober.
Morris, 45, died of a heart attack September 14 while on a Navy carrier in San Francisco Bay. He was an ace in World War II.
"One hundred dollars shall be expended at the discretion of my closest surviving relatives for the purpose of buying booze and canapes for my friends," he wrote in his Aug. 16, 1955, will. "On second thought, make it $300, because I don't want my friends to go away sober or serious. This is to take the place of a funeral or memorial service."
