moving the conversation from the MDA page, how do you know about milton berle visiting hospital on JL’s behalf? suzan found out the truth as an adult, yes? and JL met with her then too? it’s a shame, once he was divorced from patti, he didn’t acknowlege suzan....was it just a tarnish to his reputaion thing? or i wonder?

Jerry may have been concerned that a public acknowledgement of Suzan might have had reverberations at MDA. It certainly would have been bad publicity for MDA if Jerry had publicly acknowledged a child outside his marriage and might have led to declining donations. And that would have tarnished his reputation in addition to the bad publicity of an admission of having cheated on his wife, although it was no secret that Jerry cheated on Patti. Once his movie career ended, MDA and the telethon became Jerry's career, so he would have been very careful to protect that.

The Milton Berle visiting story came from Suzan herself. I guess her mother must have told her. Her story gets more detailed depending on what interview she does. I feel like if she would've told about Jerry coming to visit her as a child and providing some support he would've come off looking better in the Howard Stern interview she gave. Perhaps Gary was manipulating her into only telling that much of the story, since he had issues with his dad.
