This fevered speculation had real-world consequences and quickly took a turn for the truly frightening. Before Bruce became a film star in his own right he taught kung fu to celebrities in Los Angeles and counted actors James Coburn and Steve McQueen among his clients.Bruce Lee: A Life, by Matthew Polly claims to be the first authoritative biography of the star since his death at age 32The book, which claims to be the first authoritative biography of Bruce since his death, says that one thing he learned from McQueen was be in charge of everything on the set.Another was to 'cut a wide swath through the female production of actresses, groupies..housewives and hatcheck girls'.In 1969 Bruce was an advisor for the film The Wrecking Crew when he met actress Farrell.At the time Bruce's wife had just given birth to their second child, a daughter, Shannon, but he walked up to Farrell in the MGM studio parking and charmed her into bed.Farrell said: 'He was the first man I had ever been with who had such a beautiful body. This woman has been one hell of a pillar of strength'.In fairness, Bruce's Hollywood friends were never faithful and he was a star in the Mad Men era where a generation of men acted with impunity while their wives were expected to stay home with the kids. His antics eventually put him on a police list of delinquents, according to the book. His father Lee Hoi-chuen was a Cantonese opera singer and actor and his mother Grace Ho was a socialite in Hong Kong, where they raised him.In his youth Bruce formed a gang of schoolmates and got expelled from his posh Catholic school for pulling a knife on a PE instructor.He also forced another boy to pull down his pants and painted his genitals red with paint he had stolen from a construction site. I'll get rid of her. Bruce died at age 32 in 1973 - just a few weeks before the release of Enter the Dragon, the first big Western-produced kung fu film.The movie turned him into cultural icon, introduced the world to his Taoist philosophy, and opened the door to martial arts in the West.But in life Bruce was not as measured as he was on screen and never fully managed his temper and craving for control, behaviors which played out in his treatment of women. I'm American, I want to look the part'.Bruce moved back to San Francisco where his kung fu exhibitions caught the attention of TV producers who cast him as Kato in the series The Green Hornet.It was here he met Thordis Brandt, a blonde from West Germany and one of the glamour girls of the 1960s - and had a fling with her.Lee had two children with wife Linda Emery. In early August, a bomb threat was called in to the police, who discovered in a public square a suspicious brown paper package covered in Chinese writing: “Betty Ting knows the cause of Bruce Lee’s death.” The bomb turned out to be a hoax, filled only with rubbish, but over the next few weeks three more fake bombs were planted across the city with such messages as “Revenge for Bruce Lee.”The British colonial government could safely ignore a celebrity scandal, but bomb threats were another matter. How or why Bruce's wife Linda put up with his philandering behavior is not entirely clear, but her supporters say that she has never been properly understood.Born Linda Emery in Seattle, she grew up in a Baptist family who disapproved of mixed marriages and wed Bruce over the objections of her mother and father, though they later came around.According to the book, Bruce's younger brother Robert Lee said: 'As a bachelor, Bruce liked to have affairs with beautiful, flashy girls, but he married a quiet, sensitive girl who knew how to listen and would let him have his way'.As Bruce told an interviewer in 1966: 'Linda is more Oriental than some of the Chinese I know. 'Bruce Lee was born Lee Jun-fan in San Francisco in 1940. 'Amy loved Bruce but he also drove her crazy. He went to lie down on Betty’s bed—and When Betty couldn’t wake Lee two hours later, she called Chow at the restaurant in a panic. I would never plan or decide to have a mistress or anything of that nature,' Bruce told her, but his arrangement with Betty seemed at odds with this.Bruce said that if Linda ever found out about an affair it would have 'absolutely no importance at all'.He said: 'All that matters to me is you and the children.
