They got married and Rance pursued an acting career. Later in life, Jean also became a famous actress.
Jean waited until her kids were grown up to pursue her career. Everything went full circle because one of Jean’s first roles was in a film directed by her son Ron. Christmas was very important to the family history as she was cast in several Christmas films including A Smoky Mountain Christmas and Scrooged.
