Early Life
Martha Robinson Rivers was born in Charleston, South Carolina, the daughter of John Minott and Martha Elizabeth Robinson Rivers. She graduated from Ashley Hall in Charleston and then enrolled at Vassar College, where she received a bachelor of arts in history in 1957 and where she developed what would become a lifelong interest in the performing arts.
Upon graduation, Ingram found employment at WCSC-AM/FM and WCSC-TV, a radio and television station, respectively, owned by her father. After a year and a half at the stations, her broadcasting career ended when she renewed her friendship with Bronson, whom she had dated during her time at Vassar. The two eventually married on October 4, 1958, at St. Philip's Church in Charleston.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“He had long before indulged most unfavourable sentiments of our fellow-subjects in America. For, as early as 1769,... he had said of them, “Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for any thing we allow them short of hanging.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“If youth is the period of hero-worship, so also is it true that hero-worship, more than anything else, perhaps, gives one the sense of youth. To admire, to expand one’s self, to forget the rut, to have a sense of newness and life and hope, is to feel young at any time of life.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
