Personal life[]
Elza Temary, her stage name, was Elza Klecker. She was born in what is today Timisoara, Romania.[2]
After her active film career centered in Berlin, Germany which seems to have ended abruptly as Hitler took power, Elza married wildlife photographer / socialite Philip Chancellor and moved to Montecito, California, next to Santa Barbara. This is shown on the marriage notice at a London church. However, it was announced to the press that she was "Elza Tennair".[2][3]
As Elza Chancellor, she was then occasionally in the press as a socialite and as Philip's wife. They were close friends with another couple, Baron Maximilian (Max) von Romberg and his wife Emily, also resident in Montecito. The Chancellors later moved to Los Angeles and in 1937 to Beverly Hills.[4][5]
After World War II, the Chancellors divorced and Elza later married a Mr. Splane and relocated to Tucson, Arizona.[6][7]
