Personal life
Born as Johanna Bennett, she met the late Aldo Ray in 1959 in the UK, but her father, a general in the British army, initially refused permission for her to travel with Ray to the States.[1] They were married from 1960 to 1967, when the marriage ended in divorce. They had two children, Paul and Eric (an actor best known for Twin Peaks).
