«We argued a lot. Once, after a terrible argument, I left the house and checked into a hotel at midnight, and around three in the morning I called her and asked, 'Are you still awake?' She said 'no'. I said, 'I'm coming home'. People at the reception said, 'That was a short stay'. But I couldn’t spend the whole night without her», - recalled the Brooklyn, New York native.
After Anne’s death, Mel noted that he couldn’t include much about their marriage in his book, saying, «No, it’s still too painful».
