Personal life


Emery married Patricia Calvert in 1926, ending in divorce in 1929.[4] He married Tallulah Bankhead on August 31, 1937, in Jasper, Alabama (her only marriage), divorcing on June 13, 1941, in Reno, Nevada. The two remained friendly after their marriage. In 1942, Emery married dancer Tamara Geva, divorcing in 1963.[5] Emery had started a long-term relationship with actress Joan Bennett in 1961, who cared for him through his final illness and death in 1964.[6]
