By the end of the year 1940, Tanya was quite serious with famous cartoonist Peter Arno, but it was a tempestuous relationship and it seems Arno was violent with Tanya on more than one occasion. Here is a newspaper bit about it: "Peter Arno, the cartoonist, and pretty dark haired Tanya Widrin, model, starred in a new “cafe bout,” according to a story going the rounds in Hollywood today. Miss Widrin was quoted as relating the blow by blow running account. AT 4 A.M. She had accompanied Arno to night spots several times lately. And then, along about 4 in the morning on tr this occasion she opined it would be good to go home and 1 rest up for a modeling assignment. There seemed to be an argument that climaxed when she tossed a glass of water in Arno’s face. Thereupon, according to Miss Widrin, Arno, who had figured in cafe clashes before, opened his palm and applied it smartly, if lightly, to her cheek. NOT A WORD. The unusual denouement however, was that after it was over, Arno drove Miss Widrin home, and, as she related it, no word was spoken during the trip. Tanya Widrin, 20, was one of the most photographed models in San Francisco until she headed for Hollywood.
