Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. began to date seriously during the filming of Our Modern Maidens. They married on June 3, 1929, at Saint Malachy’s Roman Catholic Church (known as “The Actors’ Chapel”, owing to its proximity to Broadway theatres) in Manhattan, although neither was Catholic.
Fairbanks was only 19; Crawford was 4 years older. The couple divorced in 1933.
