| | *[[Ingrid Bergman]], Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''[[The Bells Of St. Mary's]]'' (1945). In 1950, Ingrid, who was married to fellow Swede, Peter Lindstrom, had an affair with director Roberto Rosellini while in Italy filming Rosellini's direction, ''[[Stromboli]]'' (1950) and stayed in Italy after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused Ingrid to be blacklisted from U.S. films for several years until her comeback in ''[[Anastasia]]'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like hers to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage to Lars Schmidt. Bergman died August 29, 1982 in London on the night of her 67th birthday. | | *[[Ingrid Bergman]], Swedish actress who achieved U.S. fame in the 1940s with ''[[Casablanca]]'' (1942) and ''[[The Bells Of St. Mary's]]'' (1945).

| − | *[[Joan Crawford]] (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] icon, was married and divorced three times. Her fourth and last marriage to Pepsi Company's president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When Joan died in 1977 at 72, her public disinheriting of her two oldest remaining adopted children from her $2M estate "for reasons that should be well known to them" was said to have caused her oldest daughter, Christina, to write her best-selling book ''[[Mommie Dearest]]'' (1978), which alleged a lifetime of [[alcohol]]ism and selfishness induced [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. | + | *[[Humphrey Bogart]], His first three marriages ended in divorce and his fourth (to [[Lauren Bacall]]) was the only one ending in death-his from throat cancer in 1957, age 51. |

Frances Farmer had multiple [[abortions]] when it was illegal; the guilt of which caused her to avoid all contact with children. In 1968, however, a child whispered to her that she was good, something that no one ever said or thought about her before. Soon afterwards, she went to [[St Joan of Arc]] Catholic Church in [[Indianpolis]], where she moved in 1958 (she died there in 1970), confessed and took up classes about and was eventually baptized into the Catholic faith and stopped drinking. | + | *[[Joan Crawford]] (real name Lucille Fay LeSueur), last of Hollywood's "movie queens" with roles spanning 45 years (1925-1970, most of her popularity in the 1930s) and long since a [[homosexual]] icon, was married and divorced three times.

In 1942, she entered into an adulterous relationship with [[Spencer Tracy]] for approx. 20 years (Tracy died in 1967 at 67). Katharine, like her parents, e.g. mother, was a [[birth control]] advocate as well as for legalized [[abortion]] and [[euthanasia]], declared herself an [[atheist]] and said she never had any children because parenting was to be considered a full time commitment; something that she wasn't interested in giving up her career for, describing herself as a selfish person. She also said that if she had a child, the first time the child didn't do what she wanted the child to do would've be the time she would've killed that child. | + | *[[Judy Garland]], best known as "Dorothy Gale" in ''[[The Wizard Of Oz]]'' (1939) was married five times, the first four ended in divorce, the last ended in her death from a barbituate O.D. only three months later in 1969 at age 46. |
