With \u003ci\u003eLove Story's \u003c\/i\u003esuccess, Bacon became a national spokesperson, declaring that the modern woman could have it all--in love, in marriage and in the business world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Yet Bacon herself struggled to achieve that ideal, especially in her own romantic life, built around a long-term affair with a married man.
