After marrying in 1949, Johnson subsequently retired from film work and became known as
Carmen Robertson. She and her husband then moved to
Long Beach to raise their five children. In 1961, they moved to
Ojai, where she was prominent in the arts community. She helped establish the Ojai Studio Artists Tour and the Ojai Art Center. In 1985, she was selected Ojai Valley Woman of the Year. On September 26, 2000, the Robertsons were traveling on
Harbor Boulevard and turning onto Peninsula Street in
Ventura when their 1990
Honda Civic was broadsided by a 1991
Chevrolet Blazer driven by Darin Acosta. The passenger side of their car, where she was sitting, received the brunt of the impact. She was taken to
Ventura County Medical Center, where she died about five hours later. ==Filmography==
