(21 September 1953 - December 1953) (annulled)
21 September 53 marries wealthy actor-salesman Glenn Thompson of Amarillo, Texas, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He`s 22; she`s 32. He’s the son of socialite Tommy Thompson and was seen around a lot with Georgette Martel, sister of "Miss Universe," Christiane Martel. She leaves him after three / four / six days.
6 October 53 files a suit in Los Angeles court asking for annulment of her marriage to Thompson, showing a great deal of bitterness. She declares that Thompson deceived her by saying his real name was Glenn Burgess and that he "was not a healthy and normal male and did not desire children" and was once "committed to a sanitarium for treatment as abnormal." She adds that the marriage shocked her physically and mentally. She wants $500,000 in damages. The press gives his age as 22; hers as 26. On July 10, 1950, Thompson had tried to commit suicide in New York by jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge and was taken to Bellevue hospital for mental examination.
4 November 53 Burgess is found semiconscious in the basement of an antique shop / art gallery on Sunset Boulevard, that is owned by his father, Tommy Thompson, having cut his wrists and having taken poison or sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. He is reported in fair condition at General Hospital. The police say he telephoned his mother, Mrs. Robert Burgess, in Amarillo, Texas, that he was dying and left a suicide note. His mother contacted her divorced husband, Thompson, who found Burgess on the basement floor. The note reads: "Before I kill myself I want to tell you I love you and dad... I can`t stand the disgrace of Miss Randall`s charges... You know that it isn`t true. My mind is perfectly clear and I think this is the best way out for all of us... I couldn`t face any more than I`ve been through..." Sheriff Sergeant E. J. Evans says Burgess had attempted to see Rebel without success the night before.
9 November 53 columnist Harrison Carroll ponders: "If Rebel Randall files the expected annulment against Glenn Thompson, will her process servers be able to serve him personally? According to intimates, Glenn is taking off for England to be the house guest of Lady Tankerville Chamberlayne and then will go on to Portugal to visit at the home of Madame Lupescu."
Early December 53 obtains an annulment from Thompson in Los Angeles because theirs was a "kissless" honeymoon. She testifies that she and Thompson never lived as man and wife after their elopement last September. She dismisses the part of her suit which demanded $500,000 damages on grounds he concealed that he was not mentally and physically suited for marriage.
