[1] Barbara Seaman, Lovely Me: The Life of Jacqueline Susann (1996), pages 246-47: "[Jackie and Ethel] attended a party together at Lynn Loesser's in the Beresford on Central Park West, and both had quite a lot to drink. As Benay Venuta recalls the evening, 'Everybody was very drunk. Jackie and Ethel were very drunk, and they lay down on a couch and they just made out in front of everyone.'"
