The Unhappily Married Man's Story

Lauren Bekal and Jason Robards met in Europe when he was shooting Tinder as the night opposite Jennifer Jones. They eloped to Vegas, but they were denied a marriage license because not enough time had passed since his Mexican divorce to make a new marriage legal. Betty rationalized it as what an unhappily married man does to cope,. Because that's what Bogie had told her he had done when trapped in a bad marriage to her father. After she went into labor, Jason was trashed. He stuck around for the birth of their son, Sam, and then disappeared.
