Margaret Sullavan and Jimmy Stewart's Messy Secret Affair 

Thanks for her story and that tough affair.

I always liked her. Such a charming actress. Sad life for a talented lady.

She and Jimmy Stewart had great chemistry together in their film pairings.

Jimmy was very much in love with Ms. Sullavan. It's obvious in all their scenes in all of their films.

Excellent actress and sadly underrated. She was a delight when paired with Jimmy Stewart, especially The Shop Around the Corner (1940). She was also terrific in her very last film No Sad Songs for Me (1950), in which she plays a dying wife and mother who helps her husband and daughter to prepare for the day when she is no longer there. The latter film is a sleeper, but featured some of her best acting.

I believe there was an unfulfilled infatuation between these two.

Margaret Sullavan had three children all by the famous theatre and Broadway producer Leland Hayward. They had quite a tempestuous relationship. Henry Fonda's son Peter Fonda became very good friends with Margaret's two youngest children Bill and Bridget Hayward. There was even talk I think of Peter and Bridget Hayward getting married. If I remember Bridget Hayward shot and killed herself a few months after her mother in the same year 1960. Peter later named his actress daughter Bridget Fonda after her. Bill Hayward lived until his 60's but eventually died from some kind of overdose. The oldest daughter Brooke Hayward later wrote a best seller about her parents life. She was also very good friends with Peter's sister Jane Fonda. I don't know if Brooke Hayward is still living today and if she is she would be well into her 80's.

God, that's so sad!!

I wonder what would have happened if she had just agreed to date Jimmy honestly from the beginning....

Brooke Hayward’s book Haywire tells the story of her family.

Read Slim by Slim Hawkes- Hayward-Keith; Leland Hayward left Margaret for Slim, Slim had to deal with kids’ obvious mental health issues while Leland worked; issues overcame the couple, with affairs on both sides. Leland left Slim for Patricia Churchill, and what a story. When Margaretand daughter offed themselves, Leland’s health deteriorated quickly, & Pamela had to care for him. The guilt Leland Hayward must have ate him up from the inside. Incredible stories all around

She's not Jane

That’s so sad 😢

I hadn't even heard of this actress. I'll have to look up her films.

Just like anyone else, when young people work together in close proximity the hormones will fly.

Talk about Natalie Wood,Warren Beatty and Robert Wagner,pleaseeeee

Very interesting thank you

She's before my time but still interesting. I didn't know Jimmy was such an alley cat.

Source, please? I am unaware of Maggie Sullavan and Jimmy Stewart ever having had an affair, and the poster who, using ai, posts under multiple names, has a history of making stuff up.
