Was Leslie howard ever married

Answer 1

Yes, he married Ruth Martin in 1916, and remained married to her until his death in 1943.

He had a torrid affair with Merle Oberon during the filming of The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934). Ruth was rumored to be on her way to Reno for the divorce, but studio pressure may have intervened. He was later in love with Violette Cunnington, production assistant on Pygmalion (1938). She died tragically, in 1942, of cerebral meningitis, at the age of 32. At that time, he kept two domiciles: one near Pinewood Studios with Violette, and an estate where he spent the weekends with Ruth and the children.

He did not have an affair with Tallulah Bankhead. She was not his type, according to his sister when being interviewed.
