Following her divorce from Jack Dempsey, a fan approached her for her autograph. Holding the piece of paper, the actress saw Dempsey's name scrawled near the top of it. She signed the page: "This is the last time that son-of-a-bitch is on top of me. Estelle Taylor".
In her divorce proceedings from Jack Dempsey, she received a settlement of $40,000 in cash, their $150,000 home, including all paintings and furniture, along with three cars. Dempsey remarked, "I resented her more than I disliked her. In fact, I would have taken her back if she had snapped her fingers. But she was glad to be free and away from me".
Was a good friend of actress Lupe Velez.
