Mary Miles Minter

Yeah.

Mary Miles' mentor, whose career was ruined because of a connection with that murder.

So many...

Patty Arbuckle.

Some have since theorized that Norman's suppliers may have hired a contract killer to take care of Taylor.

Mary Miles Minter was a former child star and protégé of Taylor, who was allegedly deeply in love with him.

Passionate letters from Minter to Taylor were found in his bungalow, and many sources alleged a sexual relationship between the two that had begun when Minter was only 17 and Taylor was 47.

According to Minter's own statements, however, Taylor refused to reciprocate Minter's advances and said that he was too old for her.

His occupation at the time was a motion picture writer.

Towards the end of 1922, Louis was engaged to silent screen actress Mary Miles Minter.

This was following the scandalous murder of her late lover, director William Desmond Taylor.

Louis' estranged wife, Ann, refused to consent to divorce and prevented their marriage.

At this time, Ann and her children were living in an abandoned mill house on the Beckman Estate at Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York.

Destitute and not having paid rent in six months, efforts were made to evict her and her children from the mill.

The engagement of Louis and Mary Miles Minter brought media attention to Ann's plight and the truancy issues with her children.

As Louis was suing his wife for divorce, Ann was evicted from the mill, and she agreed to leave Nassau County to avoid further prosecution.
