Husband No. 4 : Gary Merrill (1950–1960) The last place I expected to find love on was a movie set. I was too aware of the pitfalls, too smart to let the obvious happen. I had vowed never to marry an actor. Gary had enormous gifts. What he wasted was part of our defeat, our sadness as a couple. “All About Eve” was at once the cause of our falling in love and our curse. He wanted to believe that I was Margo Channing. I thought he was Bill Sampson, this strong, protective, secure man.

Gary Merrill was born August 2, 1915, in Hartford, Connecticut. He began his career acting in summer stock plays. He married Barbara Leeds, an actress, and then served a brief stint in the army. After the army, he landed in New York, where he was chosen to join the already popular play "Born Yesterday". In 1950 he was cast in the part of Bill Sampson in All About Eve (1950). It would be his first time meeting Bette Davis and they became an instant couple.
