Faye's first marriage, to Tony Martin in 1937, ended in divorce in 1940. A year later... she married Phil Harris. This marriage became a plotline on an episode of the hit radio show hosted by Harris's then-employer, Jack Benny, which struck platinum in both Faye's personal and her professional life.
In 1936 Alice married Tony Martin which caused another shift in her film roles. Zanuck gave her more maternal roles. In Poor Little Rich Girl & Stowaway, both in 1936, she played Shirley Temple's protector.
When Mary Martin became pregnant and couldn't do the role, her friend and major box-office Fox star Faye wanted to star opposite Fred Astaire and Big Crosby. Faye learned she, too, was pregnant and withdrew.
