Personal Life
At the Schenley Distillers mailroom in the 1930s one of Bernbach's assistants was Evelyn Carbone, a college student at Hunter who addressed labels on outgoing mail. While Bernbach worked his way into the advertising department, Evelyn became a receptionist. They fell in love and were married in 1938 by a Justice of the peace. Bernbach's family was against the marriage on religious grounds, but they lived happily and had two sons - John and Paul. After Bill's death, Evelyn and Bob Levenson the DDB creative leader, published "Bill Bernbach's Book: A History of Advertising that Changed the History of Advertising".

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“In our personal ambitions we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up—or else all go down—as one people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“The problem is simply this: no one can feel like CEO of his or her life in the presence of the people who toilet trained her and spanked him when he was naughty. We may have become Masters of the Universe, accustomed to giving life and taking it away, casually ordering people into battle or out of their jobs . . . and yet we may still dirty our diapers at the sound of our mommy’s whimper or our daddy’s growl.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
