==Personal life== [[File:Avery Hopwood & Rose Rolanda.jpg|thumb|upright|Avery Hopwood with dancer [[Rosa Rolanda]], 1924]] In 1906, Hopwood was introduced to writer and photographer [[Carl Van Vechten]]. The two became close friends and were sometimes sexual partners.<ref>{{harvnb|White|2014|pp=71β73}}</ref> In the 1920s Hopwood had a tumultuous and abusive romantic relationship with fellow Cleveland-born playwright John Floyd.<ref>{{harvnb|Sharrar|2005|p=201}}</ref> Although Hopwood announced to the press in 1924 that he was engaged to vaudeville dancer and choreographer [[Rosa Rolanda]], Van Vechten confirmed in later years that it was a publicity stunt. Rolanda would later marry caricaturist [[Miguel Covarrubias]]. On the evening of July 1, 1928, at [[Juan-les-Pins]] on the French Riviera, Hopwood suffered a fatal heart attack while swimming. He was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Cleveland.<ref>Wilson, Scott. ''Resting Places: The Burial Sites of More Than 14,000 Famous Persons'', 3d ed.: 2 (Kindle Location 22102).
