 Pamela Harriman, 76, Envoy, Confidant of the Powerful
During a visit to New York she was introduced to Leland Hayward, the Broadway producer of such hit musicals as "South Pacific" and "The Sound of Music." A friend asked her to go to the theater with Hayward, whose second wife, Slim, later known in New York society as Lady Keith, was in Europe.
She showered Hayward with what Sally Bedell Smith characterized as "geisha-like devotion." She cooked chicken hash on a hot plate when they were out on the road and organized splendid houses in New York and Westchester, but theirs was a complicated marriage.
Hayward had three children from his marriage to the actress Margaret Sullavan, who committed suicide in 1960, 11 years after her divorce from Hayward.

 The Missing Player
Hayward's successes were compatible with Nature's evolutionary objectives, and because the evolutionary process presses onward, if it is not interrupted by man's reactionary, subconscious urges which propel him to violence and universal self-destruction, Hayward's dramatic values will endure, and are a matter for emulation.
Hayward had consciously, or unconsciously, locked into this principle and consciously, or unconsciously, applied it to his production practice, for his first concern, as his productions demonstrate, was with content, even when he was searching for material for a "star" (or "star" director) in productions such as Call Me Madam or Wish You Were Here.
Hayward's own ideas of form were of Aristotelian derivation, which accounted for his inability to function successfully in the sixties, when conventional form literally broke down.
