Marriages
In 1947, in her early twenties, Withers retired for several years from acting, after marrying wealthy Texas oil man, William P. Moss Jr. (they wed on September 20, 1947), and had three children by him—William, Wendy, and Randy. The marriage was not a happy one and lasted only six years, culminating in their July 20, 1955 divorce. Though she suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, it never stopped Jane's spirit.
On October 23 1955, she remarried, this time to Kenneth Errair, one-quarter of the harmonizing group "The Four Freshmen." They had two children, Ken and Kendall Jane. The same year, she earned a supporting role in the film classic, Giant.

Famous quotes containing the word marriages:
“Some marriages depend on domestic arguments the way the courts depend on litigation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Good marriages are made in heaven. Or some such place.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
