Child:
1. Frances Jane, b. 18 Sep 1942, d. 13 Jan 1975; m. Charles Evans, who later produced the film "Tootsie" (separated 1967). Frances, a documentary filmmaker, died in an apartment fire in New York City with two of her children, Melissa (9) and Elizabeth (8). The fire was caused by ashes falling out of their fireplace.

The nonprofit educated the public about the life-saving nature of smoke detectors, and lobbied cities and states to enact fire codes requiring them in all buildings. Many lives were saved as a result.
