The character of Lela is based on infamous torch singer Libby Holman, and the character of Ted Rendon is based on tobacco heir Zachary Smith Reynolds, who married Holman on November 16, 1931 and was found shot dead in their home on July 6, 1932. The death was originally ruled a suicide, but a coroner's inquiry later decided it was murder. Holman was suspected of having killed her husband for his inheritance but was never prosecuted for the crime.
