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.’

OTD – Magda Gabor Marries Jan Bychowsky

On November 19, 1937, Magda Gabor married Jan Bychowsky, a Polish Count.  This was the first marriage for Magda.  Bychowsky had inherited his title, but had little money.  The couple often received assistance from Magda’s parents.  There are differing sources as to how the marriage ended.  Some sources list them as divorced, while others show Magda as a widow.  Whatever the story, it was through this relationship that Magda first became involved in the resistance movement in World War II.
