prior to their marriage, 1946 Baur married her first husband, Eugene Colley Morrison (1917–1992), in
Mexico City on 6 March 1941. The couple divorced in
Dade, Florida in 1943, after two years of marriage. Baur met her second husband,
John Wayne, an American actor, in Mexico City in 1941, while she was still married to her first husband. Wayne was vacationing there. Wayne was still married to his first wife, Josephine Alicia Saenz, but their marriage ended on
Christmas Day 1945. The couple were married at the home of Wayne's mother, Mary "Molly" Alberta Brown, in
Long Beach, California on 17 January 1946. Upon her marriage to Wayne, she gained four stepchildren;
Michael Wayne (1934–2003), Mary Antonia "Toni" Wayne LaCava (1936–2000),
Patrick Wayne (born 1939), and Melinda Ann Wayne Munoz (1940–2022). Their marriage was rocky and volatile from the start due to her reported jealousy of his devotion to
his work and to his four children. There were charges and counter-charges of unfaithfulness, drunken violence, emotional cruelty, and "clobbering". She accused Wayne of having an
affair with
Gail Russell, his leading lady in
Angel and the Badman, which Wayne and Russell both denied. The night
Angel and the Badman wrapped, the usual party was held for cast and crew, and Wayne came home very late. She was in a drunken rage by the time he arrived, and she attempted to shoot him as he walked through the front door. Wayne described his wife as a "drunken partygoer who would fall down and then accuse him of pushing her." The couple separated in May 1952. She was accused of having an affair with the hotel heir
Conrad "Nicky" Hilton Jr. during divorce proceedings. Their divorce was finalized on 1 November 1954, after eight years of marriage. Wayne later commented, "Our marriage was like shaking two volatile chemicals in a jar,". Baur had no children. == Death ==
