From a New York Times interview with Jean Arthur:
But Jean did manage to get married — twice. The first marriage, while she was still a teen-age starlet in silent films, was to Julian Anker, a nice Jewish boy in a day when most WASPs — Jean's folks, for example — never imagined there was such a thing. “Julian looked a lot like Abraham Lincoln, and that's probably why I fell in love with him. One day, we were out driving and he suddenly said, ‘Hey, why don't we get married?’ So we lied about our ages and got married in a sheriff's office. You should have heard our families’ reactions — all sorts of screaming and shouting and carrying on about suicide. Well, neither Julian nor I had enough income to make it possible for us to live together, so our marriage lasted one day.
“Julian dreamed of becoming a millionaire. He had a lot of good ideas, and I have a feeling he would have become a millionaire one day. But shortly after our marriage was annulled, Julian died. He was out fishing, and he had a sunstroke.”
