See, "Betsy Drake dies at 92; gave up acting career to marry Cary Grant":
Their 1949 marriage in Palm Springs was front-page news, with Howard Hughes, a close friend of Grant's, serving as best man. It would be the most durable of Grant's five marriages.
After they separated in 1958, Drake started seeing a Beverly Hills psychotherapist, who prescribed therapy with LSD, which was legal at the time.
In her first session, she experienced the pain of her own birth.
"Enthused by what she considered an incredible experience, Betsy went home and called her mother, with whom she hadn't spoken in a decade," Vanity Fair magazine reported in 2010.
"'I told her, 'I love you,' and after all that time, she just said, 'Of course you do, darling,' and hung up."
Drake talked Grant into similar sessions and he came away a true believer, using the drug more than 100 times...
