Biography

Brent carried on a lengthy relationship with his frequent Warner Bros co-star, actress Bette Davis. He was married five times: Helen Louise Campbell (1925–1927), Ruth Chatterton (1932–1934), Constance Worth (1937) and Ann Sheridan (1942–1943). Chatterton, Worth, and Sheridan were also actresses. Chatterton and Sheridan were both fellow Warner Brothers players. His final marriage to Janet Michaels, a former model and dress designer, lasted 27 years until her death in 1974. They had a son and a daughter.

In her final years, Davis herself described her last meeting with Brent after many years of estrangement. Brent was suffering from advanced emphysema, and Davis expressed great sadness at his ill health and deterioration. George Brent died in 1979 in Solana Beach, California.
