(14 December 1947 - 24 April 1971) (his death)
Lena Horne`s second marriage was to Lennie Hayton, a Jewish American, from 1947 until his death in 1971. Hayton was one of the premier musical conductors and arrangers at MGM. In her as-told-to autobiography Lena by Richard Schickel, Horne recounts the enormous pressures she and her husband faced as an interracial married couple. They also had the distinction of enjoying one of Hollywood’s longest lasting marriages, unique because it was also an interracial one. They were married in 1947, a union that lasted up until his death in 1971. Throughout the marriage, Hayton also acted as Horne’s music director.
