Davis and Autry were a couple for a number of years. I've interviewed people who knew and worked with them at the time and it was a well known fact. They made no attempt to hide the affair. I have two vhs tapes from Knoxville memorabilia shows. In both the Davis-Autry is the subject of a lot of comments. Gail Davis and Carolina Cotton were on both panels.
Here is an article that add's controversy!

As Autry guilelessly told the author that afternoon in 1997, "I just want to be what people want me to be."
