Donna Margaret Robertson commented on Linda Alexander's group 'Robert Taylor Academy Award'

Was it jealousy that broke Robert with Barbara, Ive read a lot about her and she seemed to be very shy in public but a really nice decent person who treated everyone on set the same way whether big star or spark.. does anyone know what went wrong.

He sang while supposedly playing the piano in "Tip on a Dead Jockey," "Three Comrades," and "Her Cardboard Lover." I know the piano was not his specialty, but was he actually playing?

At 7:13am on August 18, 2009, Linda Alexander said…: Margaret, so happy to see a new member in our growing Robert Taylor group! You & I, it seems, have a lot in common. Besides Robert Taylor (of course), & that "movie madness" all 'round, I, too, love old graveyards, my grandkids, & lovely glass. I collect glass, particularly Swedish. And my grandfather's family was from Glasgow--my grandfather was 1st generation American. I'd love to get there some day & do some real genealogy . . . & roam some graveyards! ; >

Please post at will, start your own conversations, add photos--& have a good time.
