lavenderblue19 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Correct Star that's close enough. The answer was Earthquakes. Bette Davis- The Sisters Lana Turner- Green Dolphin Street Jeanette MacDonald- San Francisco Ava Gardner- Earthquake ( starring Charlton Heston) Myrna Loy- The Rains Came ( the earthquake came first and caused the monsoons) Good work, your thread Star Link to post Share on other sites

shutoo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 first thoughts...all were stars of popular tv shows, and all were married to producers? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's a given that they were all stars of their own shows, so it's something else I'm looking for. You're on the right track with the producers answer but it's more than that. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Add Lucille Ball to the list Link to post Share on other sites

Libby Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Did they all marry and divorce the producer of their show? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Not exactly but it's sorta close. They were all married to men they worked with on their shows, they didn't marry them while on the show they were married before their hit shows. and in Desi's case a jack of all trades (maybe not writer) Not just producers, the were writers, directors and they formed production companies together. Yes all divorced their spouses, one might make a link about how these mega successful women who worked so closely with their husbands on their hit shows ALL wound up getting divorced. Libby you can have the thread Link to post Share on other sites
