Stan and Mae Laurel separated in the late 1920's and never saw each other again except during an 'alimony' trial in the 1930's. Why didn't they ever get divorced?

Senior Moments

Were they ever married? Ruth Laurel filed for divorce only days after shooting of Way Out West had begun; Myrtle Hardy filed for divorce near the end of the shoot. In addition, Mae Laurel had returned from Australia, claiming that Stan was her common-law husband and that he owed her alimony. Babe's first wife Madelyn also returned, claiming that Babe owed her years of back alimony. In the end, Ruth was granted a divorce from Stan and Babe was granted a divorce from Myrtle; Mae and Madelyn settled out of court. Stan would later remarry Ruth, only to end in divorce once again. http://www.wayoutwest.org/wowfeature/film.html Jan 11 04, 4:49 AM

No curtain can be drawn far enough across a bedroom window to allow the goings-on inside to escape him. Jan 11 04, 5:00 AM
