Based on a true story - undoubtedly embellished.
Well, Mr Raucher didn't paint himself as particularly tall, good looking, intelligent, witty, or a good fighter or ladies man, so any embellishment would seem to be minor to the main plot of the story which was him falling in love with a married woman.
As for the real Dorothy's looks, well I can't think of any woman I've ever seen that approached Jennifer O'Neill for looks, even today. Still, for young Hermie to be smitten by an older woman, she must have been quite decent to look at.
