Mother, with Orson Welles, of daughter Christopher Welles.

Her third husband, John Pringle, was a South African and she lived with him in South Africa for many years. Her daughter Christopher Welles later wrote of how shocked she was by her mother's casual acceptance of that country's notorious apartheid regime.

She and her first husband, Orson Welles, were both teenagers when they married in 1934. Long after their divorce, Welles said that he believed that she had married him primarily to escape from her domineering and conservative parents, describing himself as "her ticket out of town".
