Family – Spouse And Children

Carolyn Maxwell is a divorcee and ever since she called it quits with her husband, she has not remarried. The actress entered her first marriage in the year 1965 to iconic American producer, actor, and writer, Orson Bean.

The couple’s union survived until 1981 when they divorced. Carolyn and Bean had three children together and their names are Susannah Bean, Max Bean, and Ezekiel Bean.

While the actress’s marriage to Orson was her first, the same cannot be said for Orson who was previously married to Jacqueline deSibour. They tied the knot in 1956 and divorced in 1962. Since his divorce from Carolyn, Bean has since remarried. His third wife is actress Alley Mills and the two have been living together happily in their Los Angeles mansion since the year 1993.

Their union was blessed with four children named Samson Breitbart, Willie Breitbart, Charlie Breitbart, and Mia Breitbart. Unfortunately, Andrew passed on the first day of March 2012 after suffering a heart problem while walking in Brentwood at the night.
