| + | Montgomery always called his twin "Sister". She is called Ethel in her father's obituary, it's not clear yet if she was actually known by that, or if that's a mistake. Most mentions of her in biographies, call her Roberta. | ||
An interesting sidenote is that Montgomery's niece Suzanne Clift, daughter of his brother Brooks, when she was 21, pled guilty to manslaughter in the 1 Oct 1962, murder of her boyfriend, Piero Brentani, a Swiss-Italian electronics engineer. She shot him in the head and castrated him, according to the recent report in ''The Boston Globe'' in 2000. | An interesting sidenote is that Montgomery's niece Suzanne Clift, daughter of his brother Brooks, when she was 21, pled guilty to manslaughter in the 1 Oct 1962, murder of her boyfriend, Piero Brentani, a Swiss-Italian electronics engineer.
