Musician. Born Arthur Arshawsky, he helped define the big band and swing music eras. He was a clarinetist considered on par with the great Benny Goodman. He was also famous for his many marriages, including marriages to actresses Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, and Evelyn Keyes, as well as "Forever Amber" author Kathleen Winsor. He left music behind to concentrate on literature, authoring two collections of short fictions. He died at his Thousand Oaks, California home at the age of 94. (bio by: Patricia K. Bowen)
