As far as I know, Mr. Douglas wasn't on that yacht that night. 

Oh right, are you referring to Natalie Wood? I was referring to Jean Spangler, she was an aspiring actress who vanished in 1949 and has never been found, she worked on a film with Kirk Douglas and when she disappeared he called the police and told them he knew of her from the movie but they were not involved. Though she was apparently 3 months pregnant when she vanished and may have been seeing someone who was married and or famous (an actor maybe??)

My theory, she was seeing a married man, when she found out she was pregnant she may have organised an abortion, in 1949 this was very dangerous and she probably died during the proceedure. Whoever was responsible probably buried her in the desert.

Good!!

Oooh boy.

Two women have come forward to accuse Chris Noth of sexual assault, which he denies. The women, who do not know each other, told THR that the 'Sex and the City' reboot stirred painful memories of the alleged assaults. Noth calls the encounters consensual https://t.co/UnibOZis5T

Mike Logan is a character I loved, but as always I have to remind myself actor does not = character. 

I  had blurry memories of some of this but here's a tabloid article at the time:

 

This is the first time I've ever heard about Beverly Johnson and Chris Noth. Back in '95 I watched so little television and if it didn't have to do with my studies, I wouldn't know about it at all.

It's so sad to me that although these allegations were public, they were pretty much brushed under the rug. I wonder why?

Beverly Johnson also was allegedly one of Bill Cosby's victims, too. WOW.

I remember reading about Beverly Johnson's claims against Chris Noth way back when the Black Voices message board was active. This never got much attention because it seemed that only the tabloids picked it up. At the time there was no way that a black woman (even one an accomplished one) would have been believed over a popular white actor.

TBH, I am not sure how much this has changed. I saw a number of comments disparaging Johnson because she made allegations against both Cosby and Noth, as if there were a personal deficiency or moral failing within her personally for being victimized more than once.
