1972

Her last husband, William Dufty, was a well-known author of books and a few screenplays, such as Lady Sings the Blues (1972), the Billie Holiday story.

1969

Godmother of director/writer Dirk Wayne Summers, and had signed to appear in The Great Sex War (1969), a film he was producing in Mexico. However, Swanson and her soon to be husband, William Dufty, took it upon themselves (without being asked) to rewrite the screenplay. The "changes" in the script that Swanson desired were not ones that Summers wanted to include, so they mutually released each other from their contracts. This did not impact their close relationship, apparently. Swanson accompanied Summers to Mexico for a location scouting trip.

In 1964, she was one of many guest speakers at the Project Prayer Rally in Los Angeles, California.

1932

Kennedy produced her Queen Kelly (1932), directed by Erich von Stroheim (it was von Stroheim's copy of this film that Swanson was watching as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard (1950) when she leaped into the projection beam shouting, "Have they forgotten what a star looks like? I'll be up there again, so help me!"--ironic in that the butler-projectionist was, again, von Stroheim).

1930

While under contract to MGM in the 1930s, Gloria Swanson wanted to make a film called "Dark Victory," but Irving Thalberg insisted no major studio would make a movie about a woman who dies from a brain tumor. Bette Davis made the film at Warners in 1939 and it was a smash hit.

DeMille transformed her from a typical Mack Sennett comedienne into a lively, provocative, even predatory, star. She collected husbands (e. g. , the indigent Henri de la Falaise) and lovers (e. g. , Joseph P. Kennedy, father of President John F. Kennedy).
