Sid Luft

Lynn had much to say about Sid Luft and their marriage.  In fact, she was never at loss for words when it came to Luft, a former RCAF flying officer and test pilot.  

“I thought he was a bit of a hero when I met him,” Bari reminisced.  “I never met anybody else after my divorce.  And he was so persistent – you know; we were going to get married and all this.  I had filed for divorce from Walter Kane in November 1942.  But it took a year to go through.  So I wasn’t legally divorced from him until November 1943.  The next day, like a damn fool, I married ‘dear’ Sid.  Oh God.”

Jeff,
So Lynn had plenty to say about Sid Luft (husband number two). Of her three husbands, what were her opinions of numbers one and three?

She thought her first husband (Kane) was unstable. As for her third husband (Nathan Rickles), she characterized him as more unstable than number one.

Care to speculate on Lynn’s choice in men? Sounds like she had some issues in that area.

I am reading Sid Luft’s account of his life — including his marriage with Judy Garland. Nice to see this photo of him with his second wife. Thank you for this post.
