17 March 1952 Hedy divorces him in Los Angeles Superior Court testifying: “He hit me several times. Last November at the Beverly Hills Hotel he struck me in the face and knocked me against the wall. When I married Ted I moved to Mexico intending to stay there and it was sad to make the decision that we must part. Ted was charming to his patrons, but he was not a good husband. For weeks he would never give me a kind word or a kind deed. He disclaimed all responsibility - and he hit me - several times!” Her testimony is corroborated by her chauffeur, Marvin Neal. Stauffer’s attorney, Milt Golden, asks Judge Thurmond Clarke of Superior Court, to let the record show Stauffer is sorry his marriage came to an end and that he did not want the gates closed against a possible reconciliation.
