There are numerous conditions and ailments in the world, each with its own set of unique and sometimes unusual remedies. However, the belief that incest could "cure" a son's sexuality is not just deeply flawed, but also shockingly appalling. This belief tragically played out in the life of Barbara Baekeland, a former New York fashion model and quintessential Hollywood socialite. In the 1960s, Barbara viewed her son's homosexuality as a severe "condition" that needed correction. Her unimaginable solution was to attempt a "cure" through incest, an abhorrent decision that ultimately led to her own brutal death.
