She was married to director Creator/NicholasRay... and after the marriage ended, she married his semi-estranged son from his ''first'' marriage, Anthony Ray. In fact, the marriage with Nicholas ended after Nicholas caught Anthony and Gloria in bed together. You can't make this stuff up.

She was famously married to director Creator/NicholasRay, whom she met during the filming of a ''Film/AWomansSecret''. Their marriage ended more infamously, when Ray caught her sleeping with his estranged 13-year-old son Tony, whom she'd later marry.

Grahame got diagnosed with breast cancer in 1974, but after a year of treatment, it went into remission, and she returned to work. The cancer would, however, return in 1980, and this time Grahame stubbornly refused to accept the diagnosis or seek treatment, opting instead to continue working. Her health, however, declined rapidly and she eventually passed away due to complications from cancer in October 1981.
