Liggett's Wife

I was wondering the same thing...I'm watching it on TMC and her reaction to Gloria's death is almost as if it was a good friend or relative dying and not the "tramp" her husband was seeing

OT slightly the actress Dina Merrill is an actual heiress of the Post Cereal company...I saw her interviewed for AE bios on her mother Margeret Post and Barbara Hutton and never realized she was an actress

The character of Liggett's wife clearly had care taking issues. The is evident in the fact that she knew her husband was a louse, but she's determined that she's going to perservere and find a way to make him appreciate having a rich wife that loves him! Is it healthy? No! But the reality of life is that there are people in the world like this woman who just can't accept that they've picked a looser.

Sadly, this has nothing to do with the "era" as I see a LOT of women doing this today. It was more prevelant back then because the majority of females were raised to believe that their whole goal in life was to be a Wife and or Mother. When the possibility of that ending came to light, they couldn't handle the possible demise of what they believed to be their role in light. To make matters worse, I think they were often raised to feel that if they could keep a house clean, cook and bake well and raise a good family that you would be treated well by your husband. Instead I think that the dependance gave the men the upper hand and they soon figured out that they could do as they wished.

The word is loser, not looser. The phrase is death throes, not death throws....you can look these things up.

The character's name is "Emily." I was wondering why she put up with him when she was the one with all the money and power. Was it just fulfilling a societal role? Even her mom wanted her to divorce the creep.
