Joan`s marriage to theatrical impresario Michael Todd was an emotional and financial disaster. Todd was a heavy spender who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars gambling (high-stakes bridge was one of his weaknesses) and went through a controversial bankruptcy during their marriage. While continuing to live the high-life on a huge estate in New York`s Westchester County, the irresponsible Todd ran through Blondell`s savings, and then eventually dumped her for the much younger Elizabeth Taylor.
