Bill Paxton
Bill Paxton was married twice: first to Kelly Rowan beginning about 1979, and then to Louise Newbury from 1987 until his death. According to a 1998 profile of Paxton in The Los Angeles Times, “When he was 24, he ran into a girlfriend from Texas he hadn’t seen in five years and asked her to marry him. The marriage ended fewer than three years later, according to Paxton, when his wife got tired of waiting for his Hollywood dreams to come true.” According to the same profile: “He also met his current wife, Louise, while the film was shooting in London. She was 17 and headed to the orthodontist. He chased the bus she was riding on until he caught her.” He had two children with Louise; one is the actor James Paxton (b. 1994)… As an 8-year-old, Bill Paxton went to see President John F. Kennedy speak in Fort Worth, hours before Kennedy was killed in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
