Wallace married her
Jigsaw costar
Franchot Tone on October 18, 1941 in
Yuma, Arizona. They had two sons, Pascal "Pat" Franchot Tone, born July 29, 1943, and Thomas Jefferson Tone, born September 16, 1945. Wallace and Tone divorced in 1948, and Tone was awarded custody of their sons. Wallace challenged that status in 1950 because of Tone's relationship with actress
Barbara Payton, but a judge in
Santa Monica, California, ruled that Tone would retain custody. Wallace attempted suicide in 1946 by ingesting
sleeping pills. In 1949, she again attempted suicide with a self-inflicted knife wound, causing her to be replaced by
Ella Raines as the star of
A Dangerous Profession. She sang the theme song from the movie
Beach Red, which Wilde produced and directed as well as starred in. Wallace died from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage on February 14, 1990 at the age of 66. ==Filmography==
