The funeral of veteran actor Robert Taylor, who died from lung cancer at 57 in 1969, was held at the Forest Lawn Church of the Recessional in Glendale, California. Despite hurt feelings and the flow of time, Barbara, a four-time Oscar nominee whose credits included Stella Dallas, Double Indemnity and TV’s The Big Valley, could never forget Robert, her second and final husband. In Venice, the couple were photographed riding in a gondola, visiting a church and feeding the pigeons in Piazza San Marco.
