plawrence, thank you for posting! I just love it when people reply to my threads; it makes me feel as though I'm an interesting conversation starter.

In my "forum philosophy," one need not know THE answer. I welcome speculation, links, and musings of what the answer could be. If we only posted what we know definitively then it wouldn't make for a very lively message board.

It's especially helpful when people reveal what they read or heard on a topic and where they read it (if possible). It still may not provide the definitive answer, but it adds fuel to the fire (or in other words, more stuff to debate about). So it was with interest that I read the biography link you provided.

I see, as you wrote, that by the time of Scarface Carol Kane hadn't yet started. Diane Keaton was on-and-off, but amicably split after GF III. But I gathered from the bio that Marthe Keller wasn't history until after Revolution (1985)... so maybe it was her?

Now that means they would have been a couple from 1977 to 1983. Hmmm, I wonder if that's possible. Has he ever had an exclusive relationship that lasted that long?
