*[[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.

*[[Frances Farmer]], who as a public high schooler in 1931, denied God in a controversial award winning essay and, in 1935, visited the [[USSR]], was also more popular in the 1930s, had an affair with Clifford Odets while married to her first husband and, like Joan Crawford, had three marriages, all of whom ended in divorce. 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.
