Do we know that?  Jimmy and Bonzo apparently had considerable reputations as
well.

Robert talked more than the rest.  He still does.

No one knows.  Most women willing to fall into bed with a stranger, no
matter how glamorous he might be, are unlikely to be otherwise celibate.
Hence, two things:  first, in the 70's virtually every sexually active young
woman was on the Pill, so there were fewer chances for "accidents" (at least
of that nature--recall Robert's quip about his immunity to penicillin); and
second, it's doubtful that such a woman could be certain that a child was
Robert's rather than another partner's.

Obviously, there were some children.  I have heard that both Robert and
Jimmy support children they are, or think they are, responsible for.  I have
no idea how much proof they required, but were there any lawsuits on this
issue?  Theolyn?

Furthermore, many a woman would rather not put on record that a very wealthy
and famous man is the father of her child, for fear of either having him
claim custody or putting the child in danger of kidnapping for ransom.  Or
for all the problems it might cause the child socially.

Hence, the answer to your question of how many "Little Roberts" there are
has got to be, "Robert doesn't know, so how can anyone else?"

Hmmm--about that 5 million pound discrepancy between Robert's and Jimmy's
fortunes.  Could it be that there are more "Little Jimmys" being supported
than "Little Roberts"?

BTW, was anyone else surprised to learn not only that Robert has more money
than Jimmy, but how incredibly much it is?  Shows you (again) how much
Robert's public statements can be trusted--I was sure he had not spent
everything he ever earned, as he claims, but I would never have guessed a
hundred million dollars!  Jean
