Page "Louis Hayward" Paragraph 7

Hayward married actress / director Ida Lupino November 17, 1938, in a quiet civil ceremony held in the Santa Barbara courthouse.

After Louis returned from the war he was drastically different ( he was suffering from depression most likely caused by post traumatic stress disorder ) and this caused a strain in the marriage.

They were divorced in 1945.

He then met Peggy Morrow and after dating for a while they married on May 29, 1946.

They divorced just 4 years later on March 13, 1950.

Louis Hayward had one son, Dana ( who died in 2007 ), with his third wife, June Hanson ( who died in 1998 ).

He was posthumously reported to have had a long-standing homosexual relationship with playwright / screenwriter Noël Coward in biographies of the latter.
