Peppard was married five times, one of them to actress Creator/ElizabethAshley, and was the father of three children. In 1990 he remarked, regarding his many divorces, "Getting married and having a bad divorce is just like breaking your leg. The same leg, in the same place. I'm lucky I don't walk with a cane."
Peppard was also a chain smoker for most of his life, frequently smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. He eventually quit, however, when he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1992, and had a lung removed as a result. It didn't completely get rid of the cancer, and his health continued to decline. While still battling lung cancer, Peppard eventually passed away in 1994 in Los Angeles, from a bout of pneumonia.
