Yes, Danny and Sylvia lived apart for awhile, then got back together, but they never had what would be considered a "normal" relationship.
I'm confused by the 1941 article that describes Danny as having blonde hair, but I thought he was a natural redhead, and that it was dyed blonde for his first starring role in 1944 (at the behest of Goldwyn) to make him look less "ethnic".
Thanks, SueSue -- I was exhausted just reading Danny's schedule over the years -- it seemed he never stopped working in one form or another, and was always on the go, all around the world. Reading between the lines, it didn't seem that his immense success sat lightly on his shoulders, and he must have been subjected to a lot of emotional and physical stress, which probably exacerbated his natural tendency toward depression.
