Jack Ryan was an engineer and an inventor.  While working with Raytheon he designed Sparrow and Hawk missiles.  Later, when working for Mattel, he created both Barbie and Chatty Cathy.

 

The couple divorced a year later.  Gabor was quoted as saying, “‘I just couldn’t cope,.  There was also the matter of Jack’s dungeon, a torture chamber painted a sinister black and decorated with black fox fur.  My knight in shining armour, the inhabitant of a fairytale castle … was a full-blown Seventies-style swinger, into wife-swapping and sundry sexual pursuits as a way of life.’
