means to Jane
Why these beautiful words, to Jane Wyman, are more important than all else married life has to offer
WMt's funny about Hollywood," Jane Wyman observed.

You discover so many things you have in common — music, certain hobbies, a particular song you both adore, the way you can laugh at the same incidents, be concerned about the same things — and before you know it, you find you're in love with a wonderful guy!"
