Margaret Hayes - Biography
Margaret Hayes (born Florette Regina Ottenheimer; December 5, 1916 – January 26, 1977) was an American film, stage, and television actress. Using the name Dana Dale, Hayes found work as a model, "featured in the best cigarette, auto and fashion advertisements. Her screen test for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind was unsuccessful, but she received a movie contract anyway. Publicists at her studio recommended Dana Edwards as a better name for movies, so she began using it. Eventually, she changed to Margaret Hayes for public purposes, and was called Maggie by her friends.
Hayes had her first child, a daughter Nan (born 1937), from her brief first marriage to Charles DeBuskey. The couple divorced in 1939, and Hayes subsequently married actor Leif Erickson on June 12, 1942, eloping with him to Minden, Nevada. They separated 28 days later, and Hayes received a divorce on October 2, 1942.
She married a third time, to producer Herbert B. Swope, Jr. (son of triple Pulitzer Prize for Reporting journalist Herbert Swope), in 1947. The couple had a daughter, actress Tracy Brooks Swope (born 1953), and a son, Herbert Swope III. She and Swope divorced in 1973.
