Bill Withers - Personal Life

Personal Life

Withers married actress Denise Nicholas in 1973, during her stint as the main actress of the popular sitcom Room 222. The couple divorced the following year.

During the professional semi-hiatus which began in the late 1970s, Withers concentrated more on personal matters than on professional recording. In 1976, he married Marcia Johnson and they had two children, Todd and Kori. Marcia eventually assumed the direct management of his Beverly Hills-based publishing companies, in which his children also became involved as they became adults.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    “Your children don’t have equal talents now and they won’t have equal opportunities later in life. You may be able to divide resources equally in childhood, but your best efforts won’t succeed in shielding them from personal or physical crises. . . . Your heart will be broken a thousand times if you really expect to equalize your children’s happiness by striving to love them equally.”
    —Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)

    “A woman’s life is not perfect or whole till she has added herself to a husband. Nor is a man’s life perfect or whole till he has added to himself a wife.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
