Margaret Sullavan evidently caused a bit of a stir in some corners. Henry received one fan letter with a courteously enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope but with a presumptuous request:<blockquote>Dear Mr Fonda: I am one of Miss Sullivan's [sic] most ardent worshippers, in fact, I'm in love with her. I see by the papers that you are her former husband. Will you introduce me when you arrive to Hollywood? Or, better still, write me a letter of introduction to her?"

− | + | Margaret Sullavan and Jed Harris didn't marry, even though the gossip was they might, her next marriage was to director William Wyler. He was directing her in her current film and there was '''no gossip''' that they were even romantically linked. So the marriage was a complete surprise, they "eloped" to Yuma, Arizona to get married. In the Nov 1934 article mentioning that Margaret had just re-married, they state that Fonda and she had divorced "two years ago". | |
