Foster did make several attempts at a comeback. In 1962, Arthur Lubin, the director of her hit film "Phantom of the Opera" offered her several spots on TV shows at the time including "Mr. Ed" of which he was producer. One of the stipulations was that she would have to relocate to Los Angeles with her two boys. Evans reportedly became enraged, immediately taking Foster to court suing for custody of the two boys. It was a public fight with articles in many of the New York and Philadelphia papers, with one headline declaring "Wilbur Evans Calls Ex-Wife Beatnik."
