BEAUTIFUL AND SPECIAL

On the 1965 movie 'Roustabout' Barbara Stanwich would not talk to Elvis Presely for the first few days. Later, she became friendly with Elvis and explained, 'It was hard to talk to you because you look so much like the love of my life Robert Taylor." (She was married to him, but he had past away.) With Elvis' hair style in the movie he did indeed look like Taylor. See photo at this link:

They had married in 1949. She and Taylor enjoyed time together outdoors during the early years of their marriage, and were the owners of acres of prime West Los Angeles property. Their large ranch and home in the Mandeville Canyon section of Brentwood in Los Angeles is to this day referred to by locals as the old "Robert Taylor ranch".

Taylor had affairs during the marriage, including one with Ava Gardner. Stanwyck was upset when she learned of Taylor's fling with Lana Turner. She filed for divorce in 1950 when a starlet made Turner's romance with Taylor public.
