Anne Baxter: Randolph Galt
built 186 days ago
In the 1950s, Baxter was married to and then divorced from actor John Hodiak. That union produced Baxter's oldest daughter, Katrina. In 1961, Baxter and her second husband, Randolph Galt, left the United States to live and raise their children on a cattle station in the Australian outback. She told the story in her memoir Intermission: A True Story. In the book, Baxter blamed the failure of her first marriage to Hodiak on herself.
The following year Anne appeared in THE NORTH STAR, the first film where she received top billing. Anne and the film itself was highly praised. 1944's GUEST IN THE HOUSE was a dismal failure, but SUNDAY DINNER FOR A SOLDIER that same year was received much better by the public but ripped apart by the critics. Anne starred with John Hodiak who would become her first husband in 1947. (Anne was to divorce Hodiak in 1953. Her other two husbands were Randolph Galt and David Klee).

Baxter was survived by her three adult daughters. Baxter was a lifelong friend of the late costume designer Edith Head, who appeared with Baxter in a cameo role in the Columbo episode in which Baxter starred. Upon Head's death in 1981, Baxter's daughter Melissa was bequeathed her extraordinary collection of jewelry. Melissa Galt today works as an interior designer in Atlanta. Baxter's daughter, Katrina Hodiak, ultimately married and had children. Baxter's daughter Maginel Galt is reportedly a Catholic nun living and working in Rome, Italy.
Between 1960 and 1963, Baxter abandoned her career to live with her second husband, Randolph Galt, on a ranch in the remote Australian outback. She described the experience in her book, Intermission: A True Story.
