The Twisted Path to Marriage for Leo Durocher & Laraine Day


It took two weddings and two divorces before they legally tied the knot.
by Rich Watson 


Baseball manager Leo Durocher met Hollywood actress Laraine Day in 1942. They were married to other spouses at the time, yet they fell in love. 

He divorced in 1943. By 1946, once she obtained a divorce from her husband, bandleader and airport manager Ray Hendricks, she was ready to wed Durocher.

They would have to jump through a number of hoops first.
