1 2 3 4 5#1 - 1930s-Barb Stanwyck and sonBarbara Stanwyk married funnyman
Frank Fay in 1928 when he was successful variety artist and she was an unknown, They adopted son
Dion Anthony Fay, in December, 1932.
Fay was said to be a drunk, anti-Semite, and a wife-beater universally disliked due to his enormous ego. Stanwyk loved being a mother, but she hated being Fay's wife. She finally divorced him and began a long and bitter custody battle for the boy.
In 1947, she sent Dion to one of the military schools on the West Coast. But he was forever getting into trouble and running away from school. The next thing anyone heard from him was in 1952 when he enlisted in the Army, apparently against Barbara's wishes. Mother and son never saw or spoke to each other again after that day.
This photo was taken by Life during her custody battle in the late 30s.

After Francis Taylor relocated his uncle’s art gallery to the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Taylors moved into a home at nearby 703 North Elm Drive. Biographer Alexander Walker described it as “A low building in the Spanish style, with pink stucco walls and red roof tiles, it had a huge round-arched window facing the road and a dusty front ‘yard’ with an olive tree in it.” Elizabeth would call North Elm Drive home for a decade, until her marriage to Nicky Hilton.
