Personal Life
Aumont was married four times to three women. His first wife was French actress Blanche Montel, to whom he was married for two years (1938-1940), ultimately divorcing. While in Hollywood, Aumont married Maria Montez, a Dominican actress. She was known as the Queen of Technicolor, and their marriage was very happy. However, Montez drowned on 7 September 1951 after suffering an apparent heart attack, in the family's villa at Suresnes. Montez and Aumont had one child, a daughter, Tina (1946–2006).
In 1956, Aumont married Italian actress Marisa Pavan. The couple starred in one film together, John Paul Jones, in which Pavan played the romantic interest of the lead, while Aumont had a cameo appearance as King Louis XVI. They divorced, but later remarried and remained together until his death in 2001. Aumont and Pavan had two children, Jean-Claude and Patrick.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“No Vice or Wickedness, which People fall into from Indulgence to Desires which are natural to all, ought to place them below the Compassion of the virtuous Part of the World; which indeed often makes me a little apt to suspect the Sincerity of their Virtue, who are too warmly provoked at other Peoples personal Sins.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“What is the foundation of that interest all men feel in Greek history, letters, art and poetry, in all its periods from the Heroic and Homeric age down to the domestic life of the Athenians and Spartans, four or five centuries later? What but this, that every man passes personally through a Grecian period.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
