[1] Jerry Asher, quoted in Lawrence J. Quirk, James Stewart: Behind the Scenes of a Wonderful Life (2000), page 80: "When Ross Alexander's wife, Anna Friele, killed herself in December 1935 because she found out Ross was gay after she caught him with a guy, he almost went out of his mind with grief and guilt... Of course Warners was scared that they let out the word to the press that it had been a gal Ross was caught with."
