Biographie

Loder was married five times; two of his wives were actresses: French star Micheline Cheirel (married 1936–41 – she later married Paul Meurisse), and the Austrian-American Hedy Lamarr (married 1943–47). With Lamarr, he had two children, Denise (born 1945) and Anthony (born 1947) and adopted Lamarr's son James Markey from her previous marriage to screenwriter Gene Markey.

Other wives of Loder were Sophie Kabel, Evelyn Auff Mordt, and his final wife, in 1958, the heiress Alba Julia Lagomarsino of Argentina, where he lived on her 25,000 acre cattle ranch and spent much time at the Jockey Club in Buenos Aires. After they divorced in 1972 Loder returned to London and resided for some years in a house opposite Harrods. His general health deteriorated in his eighties and he was admitted in 1982 to the Distressed Gentlefolks Aid Association's Nursing Home in Vicarage Gate, Kensington, where he was well looked after, venturing out by taxi once a week to his London club, 'Bucks', in Mayfair, for luncheons. He died in London, aged 90, in 1988. His autobiography, Hollywood Hussar was published in 1977.

John Loder's eldest son, Robin William Lowe (1925 – died suddenly, 29 March 2002), followed his father to Eton and served in the Grenadier Guards. He later became a theatrical and literary agent and was married three times. His last marriage was to British actress Hilary Tindall (1938–1992), who played Ann Hammond in the 1970s BBC TV series The Brothers.
