Richard died bankrupt and drinking too much both off and on stage; Barbara, the quiet one, also sipped and swallowed too many pills; while Constance, the golden girl, and the most like her father, never gave in. They both wanted ""very little. . . only (their) own way in everything."" As for Joan, who made more films actually than Constance, she also worked steadily on the road and now still does in television. . . her film career blown by ex-husband Walter Wanger's shooting scandal. She or rather they (Lois Kibbee was also an actress-writer-director) tell the story in daytime serial-ized fashion and it will do at just that level.
