Discussion[edit]

I don't know quite how to do this, but it's worth mentioning, and should be mentioned, that St. Johns wrote Richard Nixon's famous Checkers speech: This according to Warren Beatty in the DVD extras edition of Reds. Worth looking into.

Further discussion[edit]

Adela spent three years, confined to a New York hotel (the Savoy Hilton) struggling to write the story of her life growing up with her father, the brilliant Los Angeles criminal attorney Earl Rogers (died 1922, inspiration for the Perry Mason storys, successful defender of a phenominal range of clients a century ago in Los Angeles (and San Francisco). She was my cousin, and my family visited her in N.Y. in 1961 while she was writing this book, which is entitled "Final Verdict". I personally believe that this is her greatest work. I've been re-reading it lately. It is so steeped in the Los Angeles of a century ago, the personalities, the detail. A "Must Read" for anyone interested in the history of L.A. --Cliff Lott

Removed comment in 'Trivia' about her being loved; probably from above. Drieux 22:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In Sexploitation film?[edit]

St. Johns's IMDb credit for The Beautiful, the Bloody, and the Bare seems, to be understated, out of character. Could this be a case of misattribution, for example a performer assuming a pseudonym and taking a name that was, at the time, half-forgotten? Very odd, if somehow she did end up, at 70, in such a picture... Robertissimo 05:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to have been an error, the credit no longer appears in the IMbd. Deanlaw (talk) 13:54, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Surname[edit]

Any explanation for her surname 'St Johns'? Did she marry a man of this name, or did she adopt the name herself? (86.138.154.51 (talk) 16:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Spouse Ivan St. Johns (m. 1914; div. 1927). Deanlaw (talk) 13:54, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
