built 655 days ago
Allyson married the famous movie star Dick Powell in 1945. He was 13 years her senior. It was quite uncommon for a couple to marry with such a gap in age in those days, but quite common at the present time. They had two children, Pamela A. Powell, an adopted child, and Richard Powell, Jr. June Allyson and Dick Powell remained married until Dick Powell’s death in 1963. During the early seventies she was briefly married to Glen Maxwell. In 1976, she married David Ashrow, a dentist who had become an actor.

In 1945, Allyson married actor-director Dick Powell. They had two children. The marriage seemed like one of Hollywood's happiest, but it wasn't. A few months after Powell's death in 1963, Allyson married his barber, Glenn Maxwell. They separated 10 months later, and she sued for divorce, charging he abused her. In 1976, she married Ashrow.
