Biography
Barrie claimed to have fallen in love with Barrymore in 1931, when she was 16, after seeing his film, the classic Svengali. They married in 1936 at Yuma, Arizona, but the marriage was a rocky one and they finally divorced in 1940.
In 1937, shortly before her final divorce, she was sued by E. K. Nadel to prevent her from appearing in Dwain Esper's How to Undress in Front of Your Husband, on the grounds that the title had been copyrighted by Sherill C. Coben.
She moved to Port-au-Prince, Haiti and worked as a handbag designer.
Barrie died in New York City at the age of 87.
