Ralph Forbes (1904-51) was an English actor who was married three times, first to actress Ruth Chatterton (1924-32); Heather Angel (1934-41); and Dora Sayers (1946-51). Forbes dated Lucille Ball shortly before he married Angel. He would appear with her in three films. Ball turned down his marriage proposal.

The Talk of Hollywood
TRAILER LIFE IN HOLLYWOOD is no tourist-camp effect. When Miss Ball went on location for a recent picture she took a portable boudoir, a very swanky portable boudoir, with elaborate equipment for outdoor living and for use as a location dressing room. Ross, the movie tenor (right), demonstrated his flying trailer to the Virginia Dale and Mary Russell between rehearsals. Ross uses his live-passenger plane for location commuting.
