Marjorie Rambeau - Private Life

Private Life

Rambeau was married three times but bore no children:

• The first was in 1913 to Canadian writer, actor, and director Willard Mack. They divorced in 1917.
• She then married another actor, Hugh Dillman McGaughey, in 1919. They divorced in 1923. Dillman later married Anna Thompson Dodge, widow of automobile magnate Horace Elgin Dodge, Sr., and one of the wealthiest women in the world.
• Rambeau's last marriage was to Francis Asbury Gudger in 1931, with whom she remained until his death in 1967. Gudger was from Asheville, North Carolina. In the winters they often stayed there, and in the summer they lived in Sebring, Florida. His previous wife was killed in an automobile accident in Tampa two years before, but Rambeau and Gudger had been sweethearts years before when the former was the "toast of Broadway".

She died at her home in Palm Springs, California and was buried in the Desert Memorial Park.
