Her first marriage to Ted Briskin lasted only three weeks before they announced their separation. They had a long and contentious divorce battle.
Her second marriage, to William L. Driscoll, lasted only three months before they separated; they divorced the following February.
According to the documentary Howard's Way (1987), she was put under contract with RKO Radio Pictures in an attempt by studio head Howard Hughes to manufacture a second Jane Greer for the studio (Hughes had grounded Greer's career to get back at her for rejecting his romantic advances).
