| − | Margaret Sullavan appeared at the Booth Theatre beginning 20 May 1931 in the title role in ''A Modern Virgin''. The Wikipedia biography of Jimmy Stewart [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart_(actor) here] citing Houghton (1951) and also Eliot (2006) states that Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan married on Christmas Day 1931, but by the following Summer of 1932 their marriage had ended. Her Wikipedia biography states that they married in Baltimore, Maryland. I've now found a contemporary newspaper announcement that they did marry on Christmas Day, 1931, but the place is not specified. "After a year and a half of courting her, he proposed and they married. They lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, but the marriage only lasted about four months." (so says his daughter Jane)</td><td>http://movie_pal.tripod.com/fonda.jpg</td></tr></table> | + | Margaret Sullavan appeared at the Booth Theatre beginning 20 May 1931 in the title role in ''A Modern Virgin''.

Jane Fonda however states that just after Henry and Margaret separated, Margaret had taken up with producer Jed Harris. "Dad would stand outside her window, knowing Harris was inside with her."<blockquote>"That just destroyed me," he said a lifetime later to Howard Teichmann. "Never in my life have I felt so betrayed, so rejected, so alone."</blockquote> Could "Jed Harris" and Elmer Harris be the same person? | Jane Fonda however states that just after Henry and Margaret separated, Margaret had taken up with producer Jed Harris.
