Private Life
Hines has a daughter Deni Hines born in Australia in September 1970. Hines had been performing in Hair and was seventeen years old. In an interview, Deni stated that her father "had Somalian and Ethiopian in him." Hines has been married four times: to Mark Kennedy (c. 1978) a drummer in the Marcia Hines Band, who also designed her stage costumes, and to Mr. Bayni; Since 28 April 2005, she has been married to Christopher Morrissey, a medical practitioner and brother of fashion designer Peter Morrissey.
Hines grew up with asthma, missing months of schooling as a result of life-threatening attacks, and was diagnosed with diabetes after collapsing at her home in 1986. Her elder brother Dwight's death by suicide, in April 1981, devastated Hines, but her mother Esmeralda (Esme) helped her through their grief. Esme relocated to Australia to live with Hines and Deni in the 1980s, and died in May 2003.
