A matchbook and Joan Collins and Audrey Hepburn shopping at Jax (Audrey with her pet deer--oh, those publicists). Also came across this article from the Times from 1967:

A real period piece... who would have ever thought Buddy Hackett would be considered a draw for a groovy nightclub? Peter Lawford, past his prime, in his sideburns, chest hair and gold medallion phase? Paul Newman and his food, maybe.

But did Ann Margrock née Margaret shop there?

Nice followup. Article references department store scion, Jerry Ohrbach. There was an actor . . . with a similar sounding name, but different spelling. Never heard "Lennie" called a scion. Promises, Promises . . .
