Biographie

Fontanne married Alfred Lunt in 1922. The union was childless. The couple lived for many years at "Ten Chimneys" in Genesee Depot, Waukesha County, Wisconsin. They were married for 55 years and were inseparable both on and off the stage.
Fontanne went to great lengths to avoid divulging her true age. Her husband reportedly died believing she was five years younger than he (as she had told him). She was, in fact, five years older, but continued to deny, long after Lunt's death, that she was born in 1887. The Social Security Death Index reports her birth as 6 December 1893.
