One small warning to those thinking of copying my index. Although it is true, that complete indexes are not copyrightable, as they show no type of creativity, that is not the case with selective indexes. Since I exercise a selective criteria in creating the below index, I have a copyright claim to it. You can cite this article, you can even copy it, under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License and my CC requirement, is that in any copy, you must identify me as the author, and have a link back to this page and you must display the full URL.
Shelley Winters published a volume of her autobiography called "Shelley: Also Known as Shirley". (She would later publish a second volume titled Shelley II: The Middle of My Century".) This autobiography in paperback, published 1980, Ballantine Books (496 pages), has no index. So below I give an index I created just from those famous names which she mentions with interesting biographical bits about them who she actually met. I ignore names even famous ones, that she mentions in passing, or people she doesn't state that she met, or about whom she has nothing to relate.
This is preparatory to a biography.
