On August 5, 1944, at one of Patricia Dane and
Tommy Dorsey's parties, a fight broke out between Tommy and actor
Jon Hall over Patricia, who also got into the fight. More people got into the fight, including actor
Edward Norris, and both Dorsey and Dane wound up being arrested for felonious assault. Hall lost a portion of his nose by a knife probably wielded by Dane. With suits and counter suits in full wing, all charges were dismissed.
