@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Harry Wilson had been wealthy
due to the popularity of his books.
He built a grand sprawling,
12 room dwelling in an exclusive area
of Carmel, Calif. Eventually,
Wilson's finances dwindled.
The Depression era onward, he struggled
with his personal budget.
The Wilsons occasionally toured with
the Booth Tarkingtons - and the two
men worked on writings together. The
O'Neill in-laws claimed to have been
the inspiration for several of the
characters in THE RUGGLES OF RED GAP
and the script's character's
commentary.
O'Neill had a penchant to talk
in a style described as 'Baby talk'.
Legend has it this 'speech style or
habit' was very irritating to Wilson.
It proved to be one of the facets
leading to their marriage's demise
in 1906.
