Hollywood Heartbreaks
and a regretful Bob Taylor continues to mourn his marital failure
• “I doubt that there’s a marriage in the offing for me. At least, there isn’t one in the foreseeable future. If there were to be, I’d be the happiest guy in the world. I’m not cut out to be alone. But every time I go out with a girl, I begin to make comparisons. And that’s always the beginning of the end.”
That is Robert Taylor’s frank and honest answer to questions about his marrying again. There have been repeated rumors of new romances for him — flurries of newspaper stories — linking his name with charmers here and abroad. Tall tales! Fantastic deductions!
“Marriage now is the last thing in my mind,” Bob says. “You see, I figure I hit the jackpot the first time, and it would be asking too much of life to expect to hit it again.

“And after Barbara, who could I possibly marry? Barbara is a great girl — intelligent and understanding — and full of love. Real love, I mean.”
Being the kind of man who never dreamed of divorce, he’s finding the return to singleness anything but blessed. “I’m not very gregarious,” he puts it. “I don’t like parties and big crowds. My choice is to be pretty much alone, but I don’t want to sit home and mope. I get restless. That’s why I rattle around town as much as I do.”
