Corinne`s final marriage was in 1965 at the age of 71 to a Broadway actor named Dan Scholl, 33 years her junior. They separated after six weeks and, following a messy and much publicized court battle, were divorced. In court she testified that she was not Corinne Griffith. She claimed that she was the actresses` younger (by twenty years) sister who had taken her place upon the famous sister`s death. Contradicting testimony by actresses Betty Blythe and Claire Windsor, who had both known her since the 1920s, did not shake her story. In 1974, Adele Whitely Fletcher, editor of Photoplay, said Griffith was still claiming that she was her own younger sister.
