He was married twice and had three children with his second wife. He died of an overdose of drugs (1964).

That's an interesting site. I like the Executive Summary for each person. Alan Ladd's is: Shane
(Shane was a father figure for that kid in the movie wasn't he? And doesn't he leave? Maybe that's why they picked him for the locker photo.)
I checked Sal Mineo and his Summary was: Dies in Rebel Without A Cause
And then I checked Divine and s/he's stuck with: Poodle poop-eating drag queen.(!)
Heath is Brokeback Mountain of course. It will be interesting to see if The Joker ever becomes his defining role.

It's a very interesting site. Look up Eddie Murphy and Tom Cruise for fun.

Thanks MaineWriter!!
I am surprised to read that maybe Alan Ladd was a heterosexual... what a surprise!!
I thought I had read that he was gay!! I possibly now think that he was bisexual, at least!!
More research need to be done?
Hugs!!

I haven't heard anything about Alan Ladd being bi but do let us know if you find something.

Thanks oilgun!
Something tells me that Alan Ladd was gay or bi-!!
But I can not remember if I had read that in a book.
Or if someone who acted with him or worked there... or was it a journalist who wrote about Hollywood I knew when I lived in Los Angeles!!
He sure was handsome!! More information needed!!
Do you wonder like I do, why the photo of Alan Ladd was in that locker Sal had in that wonderful classic movie Rebel without a Cause??
Hugs!!
