She eloped as a teenager to marry her first husband, July 15, 1932, L.E. Adler Jr., in Durant, Oklahoma (Dallas Morning News, February 4, 1933, p.4; Feb. 6, 1933, p.7; March 31, 1933, p.6), and later divorced (Dallas Morning News, March 14, 1933, p.II-7).
She married Sept 27, 1935, Dallas, Tx., Edward Vorhies Goodin, son of Edward C. Goodin and Bertha Vorhies Goodin. He was born 7 March 1908 in Louisville, Jefferson Co., Kentucky, and died 17 September 1987 in Ranchester, Wyoming. He was co-director of the Cavalcade of Texas during the Texas Centennial in 1936 (written by Jan I. Fortune) as well as portraying the voice of Sam Houston and 22 other historical figures. In 1939, he also provided voices in the Cavalcade of the Golden West presented at the San Francisco World's Fair.
Edward V. Goodin, with his brothers George L., Maurice E. "Maury", and William Charles founded and were sole co-owners of Petroleum Information Corp. of Denver.
Her mother's greatest screen achievement may have been the John Wayne film "Dark Command" (1940), but her most influential published work was FUGITIVES: THE TRUE STORY OF CLYDE BARROW AND BONNIE PARKER (1934), reprinted as THE TRUE STORY OF BONNIE AND CLYDE (1968).
Coincidentally, on May 23, 1954, the 20th anniversary of the deaths of Bonnie and Clyde, Jan Isbelle Fortune Goodin collapsed and died suddenly of a blood clot. She had fallen and accidentally hit her head a few days before.
Her only daughter Jan had married just two weeks before.
