Biography

Cynthia L. Krensky was born in New York to Morris and Ida Krensky. She married twice, the first time to Robert Bouron, a Parisian dentist, and the second time to actor Milos Milos, and had a son by each husband.[1][6]

Living in Hollywood, California, she was identified at various times as a writer,[7] a studio production employee,[8] an actress and producer.[6] She also hosted a call-in talk show at KPLM-TV in Palm Springs.[9]

Paternity suit

Bouron plotted against Grant and became pregnant by a younger man resembling Grant in his younger years. When the child, Stephanie Andrea,[10] was born on March 12, 1970, Bouron wrote Grant's name on the birth certificate.[7] She sued Cary Grant over the paternity of her daughter, alleging he was the father. When Grant challenged her to a blood test to prove that he wasn't the father, Bouron failed to comply three times and the case was dropped,[11] and she was ordered to remove Grant's name from the birth certificate.[12]

Death

On October 30, 1973, Bouron was found dead in the trunk of a car parked outside the Market Basket, located at 11315 Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, California. She had been tied up and beaten to death. [10] She lay undiscovered for at least a week.[2] Bouron was reported missing by her two sons on October 20; the auto her body was found in was abandoned since October 24.[1] The murderer was never found. She was 39 at the time of her death.[9]
