In 1947, Saunderson's great-grandson, also named Alexander, married Louise Astor Van Alen, granddaughter of James John Van Alen and grandniece of RMS Titanic victim John Jacob Astor IV, and the ex-wife of two different Georgian Mdivani princes.
A crucial blow to her movie career occurred after she married, as her fourth husband, David Mdivani, a Georgian so-called "prince" whose brothers, Serge and Alexis, married actress Pola Negri and the heiress Barbara Hutton respectively.
David then married Sinclair Oil heiress Virginia Sinclair (daughter of Harry Ford Sinclair) in 1944, and they had a son, Michael (1945-1990).
