One of Hollywood’s most tragic stories was the death, at 32 years old, of actor Robert Walker. Walker was one of Hollywood’s brightest young stars when David O. Selznick took control of his wife, actress Jennifer Jones and set him on a path to his demise. His life, divorce and mental breakdown was one of Hollywood’s quieter scandals of the late 1940s that was subdued by the MGM publicity octopus. Walker, who starred in films such as Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train and See Here, Private Hargrove was a talented young talent who could have been mistaken for Jack LemmonAfter winning an Academy Award in 1944 for her performance in “The Song of Bernadette,” Ms. Jones went on to star in successful films like “Duel in the Sun” and “Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.” She was nominated for Oscars five times.She was also known for an off-screen life that included bouts of emotional instability; a second marriage to the Svengali-like David O. Selznick, the producer of “Gone With the Wind”; the suicide of their daughter; and a later marriage to another larger-than-life figure, Mr. Simon.
