Lois Wilde Facts
Married four times, she met her first husband, Leslie Sherriff, when he was working as a Ziegfeld Follies musician in the George Olsen Band. They had a daughter, Marjorie, who later became a physician. Married for 12 years, they were estranged for over half the time.

According to Merrill T. McCord, who wrote an article on Lois for "Classic Images" magazine in 2006, Lois actually won the Miss America title in 1923, but the honor was rescinded after the judges were informed that she was a performing professional.

Both her older sister (at age 6) and grandfather died in tragic fire-related accidents. Her sister's clothes went up in flames by a lighted birthday candle (she died a day later from her burns) and her grandfather perished in a kitchen home fire that was ignited by a stove. Years later Lois herself was injured at the Hotel Astor in New York during a fashion show when a curling iron accidentally shot out flames and burned her right hand and arm.
