From 1982 to 1984 Dorothy Hamill was married to Dean Paul Martin, the son of singer and actor Dean Martin. During a 2007 interview on the Today show, she called him “the love of my life.” In her memoir, which was published that year, Hamill wrote that the two were passionately in love but “both had so much growing up to do, and unfortunately, we had to do it while traveling to different destinations.” Martin, who was a member of the Air National Guard, died in 1987 when his jet crashed into a mountain during a snowstorm.
