*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 his direction of the movie, ''[[Stromboli]]'' (1950) and remained there after becoming pregnant with his child. This caused her to be blacklisted from U.S. films for five-six years and denounced from pulpits as "an agent of evil" until her U.S. comeback in ''[[Anastasia]]'' (1956). Her marriage to Rosellini, like the one to Lindstrom, ended in divorce, as did her third and last marriage afterwards to Lars Schmidt. Bergman died August 29, 1982 in London on the night of her 67th birthday.

*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]] [[idol]], was married and divorced three times and named as the 'other woman' in at least one affair with a married man. Her fourth and last marriage to [[PepsiCo, Inc|Pepsi Company]]'s president Alfred Steele was the only one ending in death (his in 1959). When Joan died in 1977, 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, adapted into film in 1981), which alleged a lifetime of [[Adultery|extramarital affairs]], [[alcoholism]] and selfishness-based [[child abuse]] at a time when child abuse was rarely talked about in public. Unfortunately, like her adoptive mother, Christina also got married and divorced three times in her own lifetime.
