Or his own, like bringing his mistress home to the family dinner table and expecting Rose to put up with it
The one story that I know, reported in Gloria’s autobiography.
Joe set sail one year for Europe taking both Gloria and Rose with him. While it was obvious Gloria was his mistress, Rose was at all times gracious and dignified about it, showing no signs of pain or humiliation.
Swanson wrote that Rose was either a fool or simply a better actress than she was.
Joe was certainly among the lowest of all low-lifes imaginable. Too bad most of the kids took more after him than her.
And she did. IIRC, Joe took Gloria Swanson on a cruise, along with Rose.
