A middle aged executive at MGM had an eye for her, and wouldn`t leave her alone. He hounded her until finally she decided that she`d say yes to the next man who asked her to marry him. And she did. Kathryn eloped to Las Vegas on July 11, 1941 at the age of 19. She married 26 year old singer/actor John Shelton. The hasty marriage surprised everyone, including Kathryn`s own family and MGM. They both demanded she get an annulment. Metro most of all, because of the smartly manufactured Deanna Durbin-like character they had built her into. But, Kathryn won her battle, and the marriage lasted until 1946.
