GEORGE BRENT BOUGHT AN ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC DURING THE 40S?

Just found out something very interesting that I had no idea of. According to Los Angeles Times on their vintage blog, George Brent could have bought  in 1941 a tiny island called Mehetia, 75 miles off Tahiti,  the Hollywood columnist Jimmie Fidler said.

Then I went to find out about this island and got a full description but saying it is inhabited. No record of previous buyers has been written at  least not on the web. Did Brent finally buy the  tiny island? If so I would have been very happy for him.

Acabo de leer algo interesante de lo que no tenía ni idea. Según Los Angeles Times en su blog vintage, George Brent podría haber comprado en 1941 una pequeña isla llamada Mehetia, a 75 millas de Tahiti, dice en el blog el columnista de Hollywood Jimmie Fidler. Fuí entonces a buscar sobre esta isla y he obtenido una descripción del lugar pero donde se dice que está deshabitada. No se apunta que fuese comprada previamente, al menos no aparece así en la web. ¿Compró finalmente Brent esta pequeña isla? Si así fuera me habría alegrado por él.
