Bennett libel suits[edit]

In addition to Connie Bennett's 1938 libel suit mentioned on the main page, Fidler was sued again in 1946 by Walter Wanger. Wanger was married to actress Joan Bennett, Connie's sister. Milwaukee Journal, Mar/16/1946. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19460316&id=4QIaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=jSMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1496,119871

According to that article, Fidler had also previously been sued by Errol Flynn, and by both the NBC and ABC radio networks.DiffuseGoose (talk) 01:24, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
