Ya for sure, I think the fact it was not realistic (at least in my world lol) made it a page turner. I was dying to know how things would end up with different characters.

I mean we say that Evelyn is unrealistic but... Elizabeth Taylor is real. So is Marilyn Monroe. Britney Spears. Even Kim Kardashian.

If we were to fictionalize any of those lives it would feel insane.

There were a lot of those "purple" marriages in Hollywood around that era. Rock Hudson was marched off to get married before a newspaper could do an expose on his love life. And even someone like Cary Grant apparently lived long term with another man - but I have no idea how he fitted that in seeing he was married so often.
