==Personal life== [[File:Norma Talmadge and Constance Talmadge by Witzel.jpg|thumb|Norma and Constance Talmadge]] She was married four times; all the unions were childless: *Her first marriage, to John Pialoglou (1893β1959), a Greek tobacco importer, occurred in 1920 at a double wedding with [[Dorothy Gish]] and [[James Rennie (actor)|James Rennie]]; she divorced Pialoglou two years later. Her marriage to him, a Greek subject, caused her to lose her natural-born U.S. citizenship; following her divorce, she had to apply for U.S. naturalization.<ref>"Movie Queen Again Becomes U.S. Citizen", page 12, The Atlanta Constitution, December 6, 1925</ref><ref>"Connie Talmadge Becomes Citizen", page 2, ''The Ogden Standard-Examiner'', December 5, 1925</ref> *She married Scottish soldier Alastair William Mackintosh (grandfather of author [[Edward St Aubyn]]) in February 1926, divorcing him in 1927 on grounds of adultery.<ref>{{cite news |title=Film Actress's Divorce Suit |work=[[The Times]] |page=9 |date=29 September 1927 }}</ref> *She married Townsend Netcher in May 1929, divorcing in 1939.<ref>{{Cite news|date=January 6, 1939|title=Gets Divorce|work=Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/78527204/january-6-1939/|access-date=June 22, 2021}}</ref> *She married Walter Michael Giblin in 1939. This marriage lasted until his death on May 1, 1964. Talmadge's mother fostered the belief she might one day return to films. "Success and fame cast a spell that can never been quite shaken off", her mother said in her autobiography. "A woman, because of her love, may say, and in the fervor of the moment believe, that she is ready to give up her chosen work. But there is sure to come a time when keen longing and strong regret for her lost career dominate over the more placid contentments of love and marriage. Then unhappiness and friction ensue."{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} She died of [[pneumonia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/11/26/archives/constance-talmadge-73-dead-a-film-star-of-the-silent-era-followed.html|title=Constane Talmadge, 73, Dead; A Film Star of the Silent Era|website=[[The New York Times]] |date=November 26, 1973 }}</ref> Along with her sister Norma, [[Mary Pickford]], and [[Douglas Fairbanks]], Talmadge inaugurated the tradition of placing her footprints in concrete outside [[Grauman's Chinese Theatre]]. She left a trail of five footprints in her slab. Her star on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]] is at 6300 [[Hollywood Boulevard|Hollywood Blvd]].
