• Stan Lee (Writer)
The creative genius of US writer Stan Lee (1922-2018) has generated 'Spider Man', 'X-Men', 'The Hulk' and other complex characters. Marvel Comics with Lee at the helm became hugely successful. In January 2011, Lee received the 2428th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. [Listener: Leo Bear: date recorded: 2006]
TRANSCRIPT: One day… I had a cousin named Morty Feldman, and he was in the hat business. And he work… he was connected with a company, I forget the name of it but they were on Fifth Avenue and 48th Street. And he said there was a model - a hat model - at this place named Betty, and he thought I'd really like her, and she might like me and… he told her about me and would I go and see her so I said: ‘Fine’. And I went up to this place… now I might add, when I was a kid I used to draw pictures of girls. Most guys who think they can draw, draw pretty girls, and there was one face I always drew. To me, it was the ideal, gorgeous-looking girl's face. So I went up to this hat model place, and somebody opened the door - a model - and I took one look at her and it was the face I had always been drawing. I couldn't believe it. On top of that she said: ‘Hello. May I help you?’ and she had this beautiful English accent, and I'm a real anglophile. I mean an English accent knocks me out. So there was the face I had always drawn, there was an English accent, and she was gorgeous. And I think I said something like: ‘I love you’. I don't remember but it… I didn't know what to say or do, I was knocked out. So I took her out to lunch. I never did meet Betty; I mean this was not Betty. Her name was Joan. And it was really on my part, love at first sight. I found out she was married; she had been married a very short time. In England, she had broken up with a guy she thought she liked and on a rebound she married some American army officer. Then she came over here to stay with his family while he did what he did overseas. When she got here she realized she had made a mistake, she didn't even know the guy and why had she married him? Just to show the other guy, who she had since forgotten about.
To make a long story short, I took her to Reno… I… I sent her to Reno, 'cause in those days you could get a quickie divorce in Reno in 6 weeks. And she said she'd marry me. So off she went to Reno, and I was so happy. And she wrote me a letter once a week, and every letter said, ‘Dear Stan’, ‘Dear Stan’. On the fifth week it said: ‘Dear Jack’. Now I'm not the brightest guy in the world, but I said to myself, I think I'd better fly to Reno. And it's funny, everything in my life… we're never going to get finished because everything leads to a story, but in order to fly to Reno… I had never really flown commercially, I flew in army planes but… I went to a ticket office somewhere and I said, ‘Give me a ticket on the first plane to Reno’, which was a stupid thing to say. I should have said, a plane that will get to Reno the fastest. But the first plane leaving for Reno was a local that took three stops to get out of New York State. And it took me like twenty four hours to get there. Anyway, I finally got there. I told her I was coming and there she was, waiting at the station. But there's a lot of guys with her and they all looked like John Wayne, especially one real big, handsome guy in jeans and a leather jacket, and a sombrero, and boots and a half a day’s growth of beard; I mean, you'd have cast this guy as the hero in any western. And I get off the plane from New York, and I'm wearing a little pork-pie hat, and I got my gloves on 'cause it had been cold in the city, and a little scarf neatly tied, and a suit… and I could just picture how I looked next to John Wayne standing over there, who had apparently been trying to romance her all these six weeks. And Joanie said, ‘Stan, when I saw you get off the plane I thought, what am I getting into?’
Anyway, by some miracle I got her to stay with me and we went to a judge in Reno, and he divorced her in one room and then he let us in to the next room where he performed his marriages, through a little door. So he married us. So finally I had made that… I had beaten John Wayne. But we needed witnesses, so there was another couple, so Joan and I and this other couple… we were all kind of tearful and melodramatic, this was a big moment; we had gotten married. And we said to the other couple, ’Would you be our witnesses?’ and they said, ‘Yes, would you be our witnesses?’. And it was such a bonding moment. And after the ceremonies we said: ‘Every year, no matter where we are, anywhere in the world, the four of us will get together and commemorate this moment’. And then Joan and I went back to New York. God knows where they went. We forgot all about them 24 hours later...

Rest in peace to Stan Lee, Joan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Chadwick Boseman, and all the other good people who died in the world. They will be missed.
Relationship goals....
Now they are together
R.I.P. Joan. You will be missed.
If there was ever a real Ms. Marvel (or Mrs. in this case) it was her. I hope Stan Lee lives to be 120
RIP
Rest in peace, Stan & Joan. You deserve on praises.
Joan was a geordie. I have a lovely video clip of Stan impersonating her real accent. "What ya gannin on aboot ya auld bugga".

Stan based the character of Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man stories on Joan and there are many similarities. 1. Gwen Stacy looks exactly like Joan (blonde hair, same eyes and facial structure). 2. Gwen Stacy has a british background in the Spider-man stories and even moves to the U.K. in one story. 3. In the Spider-man comics Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy have a difficult romance, which probably echoes Stan Lee having a tough time courting Joan being that she was married to some other guy. 3. In one Spider-man story Peter Parker gets jealous when he thinks he's going to lose Gwen Stacy to a soldier-a la Stan Lee dating Joan while she was married to a soldier in real life.
That was one of the most adorable stories I've ever heard.

I bet the only dislikes are from Betty and Joan's ex husband and ex boyfriend
Jesus he almost got cucked.
He turned it around like a Giga Chad against Mexican John Wayne.
But who disliked?
Very nice story, but why did he send her out there weeks before he joined her?
Yeah , don’t know why she was there for 6 weeks
