In the center above is one of Billy Sunday's daughters-in-law, against whom Mrs. Olive Day brought a $50,000 alienation-of-affections suit. Mrs. Day charges that Mrs. Sunday, a wife of the famous evangelist's son, stole the affections of her husband. (Photo dated: September 17, 1928.) (I gave up trying to count George's wives.) On either side are photos of George Sunday, the second apparently taken only days before his suicide in 1933.


Whatever the era, where there's an evangelist, there's scandal. I've always been more interested in the L.A. angle of Aimee's hypocrisy and hadn't been paying attention to Billy Sunday's L.A. baggage. This is just some of it:
