In 1945 Myrna started to date commander Gene Markey, a great charmer who had previously been married to Joan Bennett and Hedy Lamarr. They married in 1946 and in the same year Myrna left MGM after 15 years. She felt that the upper echelons of the studio were displeased with her for her lack of films during the war and were, therefore, not offering her any interesting roles.
