Manning has twins (a son Jonathan and a daughter Georgina) born in 1979, with partner Dean Harris. She was previously briefly married (for just two months) to Raynor Burton. The children were born premature and suffered health issues, which caused her to move to Australia where she met her long term partner, Barry Crocker. The relationship ended with Manning returning to the UK in 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“When once a certain class of people has been placed by the temporal and spiritual authorities outside the ranks of those whose life has value, then nothing comes more naturally to men than murder.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
