Talmadge married actor Buster Keaton on May 31, 1921, at her sister Norma's home in Bayside, Queens.[1] She was Roman Catholic, but the marriage was performed as a civil ceremony.

They had two sons: Joseph Talmadge Keaton[2] and Robert Talmadge Keaton.[3] The couple lived a lavish lifestyle in Beverly Hills, Natalie spending prodigious amounts of money on clothes. After the birth of their second son, she decided not to have any more children, resulting in the couple staying in separate rooms.[2] Keaton accepted this, and they agreed that he should keep any affairs discreet.[2]

Late in the marriage, Keaton's career began to suffer after his contract with Joseph M. Schenck was sold to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. After the couple's divorce was final on August 10, 1933,[4] Talmadge legally changed their boys' names to "Talmadge", and denied them any contact with their father. In July 1942, the now-18 year old Robert and the now-20 year old Joseph made the name change legal after their mother won a court petition. [5]


Later years and death


Natalie Talmadge was in frail health during her final years and was a resident of the Santa Monica Convalescent Home. She died of heart failure on June 19, 1969 at Santa Monica Hospital.[6] She is buried in the Abbey of the Psalms in the Talmadge Room at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.[7]
