"Oct. 19, 1950: Portrait of Los Angeles Mirror columnist Florabel Muirs at work a year after the Mickey Cohen shooting incident. Muirs was slightly injured in the shooting, getting struck in backside resulting in a bruise."
The thought of Florabel out clubbing with Mickey Cohen and his crew at 4:00 A.M. is just too funny. I have to give her credit though, she took one for the team! |

Muir, above, has a terrific description of the Busgy Siegel crime scene and, yes, she’s the reporter who got hit in the rear during the attempted killing of Mickey Cohen at Sherry’s in 1949. Trivia note: The Times’ only mention of Muir being shot is in a Hedda Hopper column that says Muir was sporting an “Italian sunset.”
