Personal Life
In 1925, after years of bachelorhood, Sam met eighteen-year-old Ziegfeld Follies actress Lina Basquette while spending time in New York visiting the Bell Laboratories and began an intense love affair with her. On July 4, 1925, the two were married. While Sam's younger brother Jack did not object to Lina's Catholicism, the rest of the Warner family did. They refused to have any part in Lina's life, and did not acknowledge her as a member of the Warner clan. On October 6, 1926, the couple's only child, daughter Lita, was born. In 1930, the now-widowed Lina went broke, and shortly afterwards lost custody of Lita to Sam's older brother Harry.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“But the life of Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself.... Spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and tarrying with it. This tarrying with the negative is the magical power that converts it into being. This power is identical with what we earlier called the Subject.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
