 During an interview on _"Mike Douglas Show, The" (1961)_ (qv),  Herman Raucher (qv) said that after the novel and movie were  released, several women wrote letters to him claiming to be Dorothy.  One of the letters was indeed from the real Dorothy, who wanted to  know if she had psychologically damaged Raucher, and also informed  him that had been happily remarried and was now a grandmother. It  was the last time that Raucher, by that time married with children,  heard from Dorothy.
