Peter Lawford was always getting caught up in secrets—even before he was born. When his parents found out they were expecting, both were married…to someone else.

Fortunately for Lawford, though, it meant he was free to pursue his true passion. Wikimedia Commons

When Lawford finally made it to Hollywood, he didn’t exactly gain instant stardom. While running around auditioning for his first roles, he took a ho-hum job as an usher at the Westwood Village Theater in Los Angeles. But patience was key. Eventually, Lawford returned to the very same theater for the glamorous premieres of his highly anticipated fi...
