The boy's name was John Joseph Ryan, Jr. and his mother's name was Ann Willard. John, Jr. was born on December 1, 1941 and died in August of 1954, a few months after Jack and Marie were married. Marie was born on August 16, 1905, making her fifteen years older than Jack and, at 48 when they married in January of 1954, too old to have any successful pregnancies. After Jack's son died, Marie tried getting pregnant, but miscarried. This was told to me by a cousin of Jack's. Marie made those brightly-colored shirts for Jack and he wore them to make her happy, not to reinforce some stereotypical notion that he was gay and gay men wear bright colors.

You and I think WAY too much alike...Oh, Topaz..... You and I think WAY too much alike!!!!!!!! It truly is becoming scary. I was thisclose to putting some remark in there about how JL had this first marriage that produced a now-dead child that could have been solely a publicist's dream and then married a fashion designer who dolled him up in all that wacko gear with no more kids on the horizon, but I decided not to. For one thing, I kept coming across the wife's name and more about the circumstances, so I decided to accept it as fact. But I definitely get ya! ;-)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-11104672780545473082010-12-15T16:05:26.691-05:002010-12-15T16:05:26.691-05:00I was trying to think what the story with the dead...I was trying to think what the story with the dead son he never saw reminded me of and finally figured out what it was: Raymond Burr and his false tale of the dead wife and child as a cover for his gayness. Seeing Lord in all his hats and scarves and with the long-term wife yet no other children makes me wonder.Topazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514508159702613771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-39731923821448535852010-12-14T00:57:55.760-05:002010-12-14T00:57:55.760-05:00my dear, that pink kerchief!my dear, that pink kerchief!normadesmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325110017442011627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-81912197677873749042010-12-11T13:04:00.231-05:002010-12-11T13:04:00.231-05:00As always, I'm amazed by the depth of your res...As always, I'm amazed by the depth of your research (and your skill in finding shirtless shots).<br /> <br />He was NOT one of my boyhood crushes (something about him always creeped me out -- the hair, maybe?) but the show was a family favorite for years and I saw more episodes than I care to remember. Nice to know he was a solid person.Topazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514508159702613771noreply@blogger.com
