Claude Rains

1 week ago - Reminiscing about his work with Rains, Chamberlain said: He was in his seventies then and in failing health, yet he was charming and totally professional on the set. It was clear to us that he loved practicing his craft; he dazzled us all. Claude was an extremely private man—he never discussed his humble beginnings, his six marriages.

Claude Rains was married six times. The first five marriages ended in divorce; the last — his only truly happy marriage — ended with her death on the last day of 1964. His first wife was a brilliant comic actress named Isabel Jeans.

Rains, his wife Frances, and daughter Jennifer lived on a farm in Pennsylvania.

Claude Rains was previously married to Rosemary McGroarty Clark (1960 - 1964), Agi Jambor (1959 - 1960), Frances Propper (1935 - 1956), Beatriz Thomas (1924 - 1935), Marie Hemingway (1920 - 1921) and Isabel Jeans (1913 - 1918).

His marriage to Marie Hemingway only lasted months. Rains and Hemingway did not know each other well before marrying, and it was not until after they were married that he found out she was an alcoholic.

His later wives included Agi Jambor, a concert pianist and Music Professor of Bryn Mawr College and Rosemary Clark, a writer and painter born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, who moved to New Hampshire with Rains and later died in 1965.
