Robert was a former newspaper man, divorced and with a son, Peter, they met at MGM and eventually fell in love. Their wedding took place on February 10, 1946 and was officiated by Reverend Raymond Forman from New York’s St Pauls Methodist Church where Marsha once had taught Sunday School. The ceremony was held at the home of Mr and Mrs Richard Carlson.
On her doctor’s advice Marsha then took a long rest as she was expecting a baby in the summer of 1954. Tragically, Marsha lost her expected baby.
The Presnells, both advocates of Planned Parenthood adopted Chon Kai Yin in 1960. As foster parents under this plan, they would take care of the financial responsibilities involved in the education of this Hong Kong orphan.
Robert’s unexpected death on June 4, 1986 (he passed away in his sleep) had family and friends at Marsha’s side. It was nearly two years before she returned to acting and that was in Star Trek - Too Short a Season.
