Damone's first wife, Pier Angeli, was previously in a well-publicized relationship with James Dean, but left him to marry Damone, a move that garnered great media attention.
Six years after divorcing Angeli, Damone was arrested on October 15, 1964 on Angeli's charge that he had kidnapped their 9‐year‐old son Perry (named for Perry Como) and taken him from New York to Los Angeles.
He was released three hours later after having pled not guilty to being a fugitive from a kidnapping charge.
At the same time, a California judge awarded him custody of Perry.
However, Angeli would ultimately gain custody of Perry and left Hollywood for her native Italy, taking Perry with her.
Perry would however return to California after Angeli's death.
Perry died of lymphoma aged 59, on December 9, 2014.
He married actress Diahann Carroll in 1987.
The union, which Carroll admitted was turbulent, had a legal separation in 1991, reconciliation, and divorce in 1996.
Damone was raised Roman Catholic and served as an altar boy, claiming to have never found deep meaning in his original faith.
In the late 1950s, he was introduced to the Baháʼí Faith by a drummer in his band.
Damone said his rendition of "On the Street Where You Live" incorporates gestures meant to summon a sustaining vitality from ʻAbdu'l-Bahá.
He officially joined the religion in the early 1960s.
Damone met his Polish-born wife Rena Rowan (born "Irena Aurelia Jung" on January 4, 1928 in Lida, then part of Poland) in 1996, after she asked him to perform at an event to raise money for her Rowan House charity in Philadelphia, which provides housing for homeless single women with children.
Rowan, a breast-cancer survivor, was a clothing distributor who started the Jones New York clothing store chain in the mid-1970s.
Damone lived in Palm Beach County, Florida in his later years.
In January 2015, Damone and Rena sold their La Casita home for $5.75 million.
Damone and Rena moved to a smaller residence, a townhouse in the Sloans Curve Drive neighborhood of Palm Beach.
She suffered a stroke in 2011.
In 2013, Damone was involved in a tug-of-war in a Palm Beach County court with Rowan's two daughters, Nina and Lisa Rowan, for control over the destiny of Rowan and her fortune, which was reportedly worth more than $50 million.
The court ultimately sided with Damone, ruling that Rena Rowan was capable of making her own decisions.
Rowan died on November 6, 2016 at home in Palm Beach, Florida, from complications of pneumonia.
She was 88.
Damone was a personal friend of Donald Trump.
In May 2016, Trump offered to be a character witness on Damone's behalf in the event of any legal action his step-daughters might take to prevent him from receiving any of his then ill wife's estate, with an estimated worth of $900 million.
Damone died on February 11, 2018 from complications of respiratory illness at the age of 89.
In 1997, Damone received his high school diploma from Lafayette High School in Brooklyn when officials with the school granted credits for life experience and asked him to give the commencement address, in which he advised students to "Have spiritual guidance.
Don't lose God.
There is a God.
Trust me."
In 1997, Damone received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Frank Sinatra said that Damone had "the best set of pipes in the business."
For his contribution to the recording industry, Damone has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1731 Vine Street in Los Angeles, California.
In 2014, Damone received the Society for the Preservation of the Great American Songbook's first Legend Award in recognition of those who have made a significant contribution to the genre.
Cubitt Town
Cubitt Town is a district on the eastern side of the Isle of Dogs in London, England.
This part of Poplar was redeveloped as part of the Port of London in
1840s and 1850s by William Cubitt, Lord Mayor of London (1860–1862), after whom it is named.
It is on the east of the Isle, facing Royal Borough of Greenwich across the River Thames.
To the west is Millwall, to the east and south is Greenwich, to the northwest Canary Wharf and to the north, across the Blue Bridge, is the rest of Poplar.
It is in Blackwall & Cubitt Town Ward of Tower Hamlets London Borough Council.
It is named after William Cubitt, Lord Mayor of London (1860–1862), who was responsible for the development of the housing and amenities of the area in the 1840s and 1850s, mainly to house the growing population of workers in the local docks, shipbuilding yards and factories.
As it grew, Cubitt also created many local businesses employing manual labourers as well as the streets of housing to accommodate them.
For many years this area was home to a number of shipbuilders, such as Westwood, Baillie, Samuda Brothers, J & W Dudgeon and Yarrow Shipbuilders.
Noteworthy ships launched here included
The businesses included those involved in cement, pottery and brick production.
Asphalt production was another growth industry, coinciding with the growth, development, and industrialisation of areas throughout the British Isles.
In Cubitt Town, the Pyrimont Wharf was developed in 1861 by the Asphalte de Seyssel Company of Thames Embankment (later known as the Seyssel Asphalte Company or Seyssel Pyrimont Asphalte Company), with asphalt production taken over in the 1870s by Claridge's Patent Asphalte Company.
Estates in the area include:
The area is a mix of old east London working-class communities transplanted into 1960s and 1970s high-rise estates and the middle-class workers in the Canary Wharf complex attracted by relatively low prices for riverside living, plus less recent Bangladeshi and East Asian immigrant populations.
A public library was financed by Andrew Carnegie and built by C. Harrold Norton, being completed in 1905.
Will Crooks, the then Mayor of Poplar had attended a meeting at the Guildhall, where Carnegie had promised to fund public libraries.
Crooks was able to get a commitment form him to pay for two libraries, this one in Cubitt Town and another in Bromley by Bow.
Carnegie agreed to provide £15,000 for both together.
The total expense for this building was £6,805 13s 10d, which included some neighbouring land which originally served as a public garden before providing space for an extension to be used a meeting hall and erected in 1962.
The building is currently owned by the Tower Hamlets London Borough Council as part of their library service.
Cubitt town is home to a number of recreational facilities:
The nearest stations in Cubitt Town is Crossharbour on the Docklands Light Railway, which opened on the 31 August 1987.
London Buses contracted routes serves Cubitt Town, with routes 135, 277, D7, D8 and N550.
Cubitt Town is connected to the National Road Network by the north-south Manchester Road A1206.
Access across the River Thames is by the Greenwich Foot Tunnel and the National Cycle Route 1 to the west (which also uses the Greenwich Foot Tunnel).
Henry Alexander Scammell Dearborn
Henry Alexander Scammell Dearborn (March 3, 1783, Exeter, New Hampshire – July 29, 1851, Portland, Maine) was an American soldier, lawyer, author, and statesman.
Dearborn was the first President of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, a member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and the author of many books.
Dearborn was the son of Secretary of War and Major General Henry Dearborn by his second wife and named for his father's friend, Alexander Scammell.
Dearborn was married to Hannah Swett Lee, daughter of Colonel William Raymond Lee (1745–1824) of Massachusetts.
Dearborn attended the common schools; attended Williams College for two years; and graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1803.
Dearborn studied law, was admitted to the bar, and practiced in Salem, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine (which was then a part of Massachusetts).
In 1808 he oversaw the construction of Fort Preble and Fort Scammel in the harbor defenses of Portland.
During the War of 1812 he commanded volunteers manning the defenses of Boston harbor.
He replaced his father as the Collector of the Port of Boston and served from 1813 to 1829.
He was promoted to brigadier general in the Massachusetts Militia in 1814.
After the war, he was elected captain of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts in 1816.
Dearborn was also elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1815, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1823.
Dearborn was a delegate to the Massachusetts state constitutional convention in 1820.
He was a member of the Massachusetts state house of representatives in 1829 and a member of the Massachusetts Senate in 1830.
He was elected as an Anti-Jacksonian Representative from Massachusetts 10th District to the Twenty-second Congress (1831–1833).
He was defeated running for reelection in 1832.
He served as adjutant general of the Massachusetts Militia with the rank of major general from 1834 to 1843.
He was elected Mayor of Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1846 and served from 1847 to 1851.
In 1848, while he was Mayor of Roxbury, Dearborn designed and founded the Forest Hills Cemetery.
He also designed Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the first rural cemetery in the nation.
In 1832, following the decease of his father, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati.
In 1848, following the death of President General William Popham in September 1847, he was elected as President General of the Society.
He was the first President General to be a hereditary member rather than a veteran of the Revolution.
As President General he proposed changes in the Society's membership rules to allow for descendants of other than original members to join.
This provision is known as the Rule of 1854.
He died in office in 1851, having served a single three-year term.
The Native American Party, a precursor to the Know Nothings, which had split from the Whig Party in 1845, met in September 1847 in Philadelphia, where they nominated Zachary Taylor for president while Dearborn was selected as his running mate.
However, when the Whig Party nominated Taylor for the presidency with Millard Fillmore as his running mate the following year, this rendered his previous nomination moot and the Native American Party failed to make an alternate nomination.
Dearborn died on July 29, 1851 at the age of 68 in Portland, Maine and is interred in Forest Hills Cemetery in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.
The "dearborn", a light four-wheeled carriage with curtained sides, was named after him (he maintained such a carriage).
Dearborn's nephew was William R. Lee (1807–1891), who was colonel of the 20th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment during the Civil War and was breveted to brigadier general after the war.
Three successive grade schools in Roxbury have been named after General Dearborn: The first was built in 1852; the second, still standing at 25 Ambrose Street, was built in 1905; and after that closed, the old Roxbury High School was renamed the Dearborn Middle School in 1981.
A fourth school, the Dearborn STEM School, is now in the planning stages.
