    Quote

    She was the most spoiled child

    upsetting Duke's older children.


    On January 14, 1958, Aissa had a lucky escape.
    Blackie the family dog alerted Pilar that the house was on fire.
    Pilar made a rush for Aissa's room and found the hall filled with smoke.
    She grabbed the baby from the crib, and carried Aissa to saftey.


    Aissa was to spend much of her childhood,
    both being in some of her farher's movies,
    and on location with Duke, on many more


    Duke was an adoring father showering Aissa with toys and gifts.
    She found growing up in Hollywood royalty,
    made her lonely, and unless out at school,
    she felt the high walled family home, more like a prison.


    Her father tried to instill all his beliefs of
    being the clean all American family,
    which Aissa found difficult to live with,
    surrounded by long haired college friends!
    By the early 1970's, she became more brazen,

    Quote

    Unknown to the press or my Dad,

    Aissa said,

    Quote

    I experimented with diet pills, marjuana, and getting arrested

    Aissa, and her firends like most at her age,
    had their moments, off too much drinking.
    at one point, she even allowed a drunken friend
    to drive her Porsche, with the result of wrecking it.
    Duke adored his daughter so much, he hadn't got the heart to ground her,
    instead, told her how much he loved her and forgot about it.


    After divorcing tennis player, Lornie Kuhl,
    Aissa married, orthopedic surgeon, Thomas A Gionis,
    but became embroiled in a bitter custody dispute,
    over their daughter Anastasia,
    when the couple seperated in 1988.
    In October of that year, Aissa and her boyfriend,
    millionaire Roger Luby, were attacked by two gunmen,
    inside the garage of Luby's Newport Beach home.
    Gionis was accused of ordering the attack,
    was arrested, and in 1992, convicted
    and sentenced to five years in prison.
    It was then Aissa became a prosecutor
    and moved to Pacific Palisades.


    Pilar said at the time.

    Quote

    If he (Duke) had been alive, when Aissa was attacked,
    he would have been out on the streets, with a gun,
    whether, he was right or wrong!


    It was Aissa, who doubted that Duke,
    was in control, when shortly before
    he passed aweay, he became a Catholic.
    She considered him, too heavily drugged
    to make that decision.

  • Aissa Wayne had support roles, in 4 of her fathers movies.
    They were sugary parts, with her portrayal
    of Lisa Dickensen, in The Alamo
    being particularly sugary and cute.YUK!
    However, she is now successful, as an Attorney.

    Quote

    Like so many men of his generation, my father believed if a man
    was to call himself as a man, he must wear a kind of armour,
    male and destructible, that concealed his fears and deepest feelings from his family.
