Personal Quote:

Two of the more trivial topics I never discuss are my marriage [of three weeks] to Wallace Beery and those frozen dinners which have become famous with my name on them. See more »

Trivia:

Her last husband, William Dufty, was a well-known author of books and a few screenplays, such as Lady Sings the Blues, the Billie Holiday story. It was Dufty, translator of "You Are All Sanpaku," by George Ohsawa, who was influenced by Swanson to take an interest in health and become involved in holistic-health related literature. See more »
