Barbara Loden Facts
She had agreed to divorce Elia Kazan in 1979, but her diagnosis of breast cancer, and later, terminal liver cancer, stopped the proceedings.
Had two sons: Leo, who is a teacher by Elia Kazan, and Marco Joachim, a folk singer / songwriter by Laurence Joachim. Laurence Joachim was Barbara's first husband and was responsible for promoting her before the introduction of Kazan.
She was cast as Beverly Abbott in The Swimmer (1968), a crucial part in that she has had an affair with the title character, played by Burt Lancaster. According to multiple biographies of Lancaster, Loden's performance overshadowed him in the scene, which was shot in 1966 by Frank Perry, who is credited as the director on the film. Lancaster was dissatisfied and had the role recast with Janice Rule and had the scene reshot by Sydney Pollack. Friction between Lancaster and Perry led to the director leaving the film.
