- Enfants
- Married the widow who owned Calumet Farm, the most famous Kentucky horse racing stable. This made him the proprietor and a very happy man at the time of his death, as he probably loved race horses more than women, and from the list of his wives he apparently loved women a great deal. One of Calumet Farm's horses, a Filly named Our Mims, was named after his daughter.
- His 1946 wedding to Myrna Loy was a full dress military affair at San Pedro Naval Station near Los Angeles, California. Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey was his best man and noted film director, [John Ford], gave the bride away.
- While he lived in Kentucky, he purchased an 18th Century log cabin and had it moved to the Calumet Farm property. He used the cabin as a work room for his writing.
- Was very fond of Labrador Retrievers. Once owned a Black Lab named Lucky that lived to be 17.
- Daughter, with Bennett, Melinda born
- On his time at the Art Institute of Chicago: "I studied painting and learned nothing."
- I cannot restrain my ardor for the place and its people.....No duck ever took to water as I have taken to Kentucky.
