In 1934 Raquel met New York stockbroker Stephen Ames at a Hollywood party. At the time Ames was still married to Adrienne Ames and Raquel was escorted by film agent Charles Feldman. Miss Torres was suffering from a cold and found a quiet corner for solitude. Ames came over and asked her Why so quiet? She told him about the terrible cold in my head. Stephen described some of his favorite remedies and the actress appreciated how considerate Ames was. A year later they met again in New York. Stephen was free of marriage and Raquel had not gone through with an anticipated wedding. They met a number of times in New York and Hollywood before Stephen asked her to marry him at the Colony Club while they were dancing. After deliberating for the night Raquel decided to marry him when he called her the following day. Ames presented her with a Rolls Royce present and two weeks later they were married. Following their union Stephen and Raquel spent several months in New York and Florida prior to purchasing an option on two and a half acres of land in Bel Air, California, where they wanted to build a home.
Stephan passed away on their 20th wedding anniversary.
