Gloria Eves, a former nightclub cashier and hatcheck attendant, filed a $150,000 damage suit against Belinsky following an assault on June 13, 1962. Eves, a resident of 7130 Hollywood Boulevard, claimed to have been dragged by Belinsky from the rear seat of his late model Cadillac. She asked $50,000 for disfigurement and $100,000 for medical costs and punitive damages. Prior to the 5 A.M. offense, Belinsky partied with a group of Hollywood celebrities, Eddie Fisher, Dean Martin, Keely Smith, and Henry Fonda. Eves refused to press charges in the immediate time following the incident involving Belinsky.

Eves received six surgical sutures after hitting her head during the altercation. Earlier on the same evening Eves and her roommate, Bridget (Bright) Whitaker, 33, attended a party at the Ambassador Hotel and another at a private home in Beverly Hills. A Los Angeles Police Department officer held Belinsky for questioning before he was released after Belinsky's story was corroborated by Whitaker and his teammate, Dean Chance. Both confirmed his statement that Eves' eye was injured by accident. Belinsky's encounter with Eves was detrimental to his career, tarnishing his reputation following his no-hitter. Read Less
