On a Sunday afternoon in December 1944, they married at the Hollywood home of Frances Marion. Since Hall was a Goldwyn girl, it made sense to have a "Diamond Horseshoe" girl, Rickie VanDusen, as her maid of honor. Hall's mother considered Mary Pickford a good friend. At the reception following the wedding, Pickford was in the receiving line. A newspaper article describing the wedding referenced her father as "The late Emory Johnson." Father and daughter were estranged at the time. Hall was 21 at the time of her marriage.
