Tallulah Bankhead : Married?

Married?

I don't believe she ever got married. I could be wrong though. IMDb does not mention it in the place where they usual mention actor's spouses. Does anybody know if she ever was?

Re: Married?

No. I read many times that Tallulah was bisexual.

Re: Married?

Actually I just bought a book on her called Tallulah!:The life and times of a leading lady and it says she was married just once to please her father because he wanted her to get married. She continued with her affairs throughout the marriage, and when her father died she immeaditely got a divorce.
Her husband's name was John Emery.

p.s. he also had affairs throughout the marraige and after the divorce they stayed friends.

Re: Married?

hmmm I read that she loved her husband as a friend but not as a romantic interest, and that she married him for the same reason as you said.
