25 Nose-Twitchin’ Things You Might Not Know About Elizabeth Montgomery

15. Liz And JFK

Now we are not saying she’s a gold digger, but she only messed with people of fame and money. You can say everyone in Hollywood does that, but not everyone goes after the president himself. And this time, Montgomery’s eyes were set on John F. Kennedy. Say it’s not so, JFK.

Back during the early ’60s is when she had become close friends with the president and Pilato notes, “He chased almost every beautiful woman he met, though if anything happened Elizabeth never spoke about it.” That is how you do it, you do not kiss and tell especially with the president.

16. The Public Did Not Need To Know

At her funeral, the obituary was wrong on two accounts. The first reason why it was wrong was just a formality and not what we are here for. We are here for the second mistake that was prevalent in her obituaries and that is that it said that she was single but that is a fallacy.

It may have been because she was so private that this mistake occurred. Montgomery did not inform the public that she was married to Robert Foxworth. It was just thought that they were dating and did not take the next step. That is a great job of keeping private!

17. Gary Cooper And Montgomery

As the further along you get in this article, you will see a common theme of Montgomery being involved with other men who were not hers and possibly in another marriage. This mishap occurred with Gary Cooper. And it happened on the set of a movie they were working on together.

“She worked with Gary Cooper on the movie The Court-Martial Of Billy Mitchell and he had a thing for her. He was an older man, which she loved,” said Pilato. Someone caught the two in his dressing room alone and after that, a scandal was in the air.

18. Elvis Had A Thing For Her

There was another huge name that had the hots for Montgomery. Not just any big name but one of the biggest. His name was Elvis Presley. He might not have been the older type that she preferred but hey, he was one of the kings of music so he gets a pass.

“Elvis Presley was closer to her age when they co-starred in Kid Galahad but he wanted her. Her much older husband got upset when he saw Elvis flirting with her on set but Presley called him an [expletive],” said Pilato. Wow, Elvis was a bit harsh with his words.

19. One Affair Too Many

Here we are again adding to the list of men she got down with. Maybe Elvis did not have an abusive trait with him, he is the very rare exception. This next person was an alcoholic and abusive as well. His life spiraled out of control but Montgomery wanted it all.

Alexander Godunov was her next man of interest in hopes that she could fix him. “He was an alcoholic and she was drawn to him, perhaps hoping to rescue him, says Pilato. He was abusive and self-destructive. Elizabeth had an affair with him while with the man who became her fourth husband.”

20. Gig Young Comes Into The Picture

The next person added to the list of alcoholics is Gig Young. Young was 25 years older than Montgomery and that made her father unbelievably mortified. This was her second husband, by the way, and it looks like it was another rescue mission gone wrong. There was something she loved about messed-up men.

“Elizabeth was 22 and infatuated but Gig Young was an alcoholic, emotionally abusive and probably physically abusive as well,” said Pilato. “She tried to save him but their marriage broke down. It may have been a lucky escape. Young shot his second wife to death and then killed himself in a murder-suicide.”
