Don's women

[Houston Debutante]

This came up in chat. Just for curiousity's sake... who did Don date and when?

[sodascouts]

This list isn't comprehensive, but here's a few... and I'm not counting the Connie Hamzy types! lol

Confirmed:
Suzannah Martin - 1973
Loree Rodkin - 1974
Lorelei Shellist c. 1974-1975
Georganne LaPiere c. 1976
Stevie Nicks (off and on) - c. 1976-1978
Lois Chiles - c. 1978-1981
Maren Jensen (engaged at one point) - c. 1982-1986
Donna Rice (briefly) - 1986
Dana Delaney (briefly) - 1987
[gap - anyone have info from this time? perhaps he was playing the field]
Eleanor Mondale (briefly) - 1990
Sharon Summerall (wife) c. 1991-present; m. 1995


Cathy Lee Crosby - unknown (probably during the mid-70s)
Janet Cross - unknown (probably during the late 80s)
Signy Coleman - unknown (probably during the late 80s)


Rumored:
Patty Smyth - c. 1991

Denied:
Nancy and Ann Wilson
Michelle Pfeiffer
Sheryl Crow

Did I forget anybody? His first daughter was born in 1975 so her mom was in there (presumably) after Lorelei, but I don't know her name or how serious they were.

ETA: I'm editing this master-list to include additional information as we go.

He dated Dana Delaney as well, but I don't know the dates.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

very intresting

[Houston Debutante]

Thanks for the information. I guess Dana was probably in the nineties?

[RebeccaLovesEagles]

I'll add to Nancy's list
Confirmed:
Suzannah Martin 1973 actress
Loree Rodkin 1974 very intelligent interior designer
Lorelei Shellist c. 1974-1975
Stevie Nicks (off and on) - c. 1976-1978
Louis Chiles - c. 1978-1981
Maren Jensen (engaged at one point) - c. 1982-1986
Donna Rice (just a few dates) - 1986
[big gap - anyone know who he with at this point? or was he living the single life?]
Sharon Summerall (wife) c. 1994-present

[Houston Debutante]

Thanks, I'm learning more and more.

[sodascouts]

I'll edit my list to add in the new info. I imagine Dana was probably around her China Beach era (1988-1991) or shortly thereafter. A quick search didn't bring up dates, but one fansite characterized it as "brief."

To The Limit also links him with Cathy Lee Crosby. I imagine that was during the 70s; she was with somebody else in the early 80s, and she kind of faded away after That's Incredible went off the air in 1984.... off Don's radar by then, I imagine.

[GlennLover]

I couldn't find anything about the timeframe either.

Just found confirmation in an old issue of People of a "brief fling" with Eleanor Mondale in the fall of 1990.
