Biographie
Schafer was married to actor Louis Calhern from 1934 to 1942; they had no children. Long after their divorce, the two appeared together in the 1956 film Forever, Darling. During much of the 1940s and 1950s she was romantically linked to author and playwright George S. Kaufman.
Schafer was legendarily secretive about her age, never even telling Calhern. 1912 was generally given as her birth year for many years, which few believed, yet her actual year of birth (which was not discovered until after her death) of 1900 shocked even her intimate friends. She was also a breast cancer survivor, a fact she withheld from her fans and friends.
Her investments, particularly in real estate, made her a multi-millionaire. Differing sources state that most of this fortune was bequeathed to either her Gilligan's Island co-star Dawn Wells, or to care for her dogs (Wells has not commented). Wells did reveal on the talk show Vicki!, starring Vicki Lawrence, that Schafer spent her last years living with her Gilligan's Island co-star, with Wells as her caretaker. Wells also revealed that one of Schafer's favorite things on Gilligan's Island was "falling through quicksand." The Los Angeles Times reported that Schafer bequeathed two million dollars to the Motion Picture and Television Hospital; the money was used to renovate the hospital's outpatient wing, which was renamed the "Natalie Schafer Wing.
