Shelley Winters wrote an autobiography. That will be my main source for her life in the 50's. It's a bit hard to track, because she doesn't proceed gradually from early to late, she jumps all about in time, so bear with me as I try to fit everything back into a chronologic framework as best I can. | Shelley Winters wrote an autobiography.

In the late 1940's she was the roommate of [[Marilyn Monroe]], about the time they were shooting for her 1950 film Frenchie. [[Christopher Isherwood]] introduced her to Dylan Thomas without telling her who he was. Dylan wanted to meet Charlie Chaplin, so she invited him to have dinner at her apartment with her and Marilyn and then they would all drive over to Chaplin's for his weekly open-house. Marilyn couldn't cook so Shelley cooked and Marilyn cleaned up. Shelley did not know that Dylan was a world-famous poet until his bizarre drunken behaviour sent Chaplin into a fit. Upon which all the guests left. At the time Chaplin had two sons, Sydney and Charlie Jr. In his autobiography, Chaplin never mentioned Charlie Jr who committed suicide in the late 60s. | In the late 1940's she was the roommate of [[Marilyn Monroe]], about the time they were shooting for her 1950 film Frenchie.
