The many marriages of Rue McLanahan

For someone so smart and seemingly savvy, she had a seriously unstable personal life. Why did she keep getting involved with bad men? What's up with the multitude of marriages? I was watching an Intimate Portrait of her (MARY!) and her sister said they almost sued her for custody of her son, because she was away so much pursuing her career.

Performers are often self obsessed. They likely gravitate to those who flatter them. But no one is going to flatter you forever.

Bea said Rue loved the idea of getting married.

Rue was from a generation where couples didn't live together, it was a huge taboo.

Of course I meant unmarried couples didn't live together.
