After Two Failed Marriages, Debra Paget’s Union with Third Husband Lasted for 18 Year's

Read in-depth insights on After Two Failed Marriages, Debra Paget’s Union with Third Husband Lasted for 18 Year's.

After her first two marriages went down in flames, the actress found herself a third spouse in Ling Chieh (Louis) Kung on April 19, 1962. 

The then-28-year-old actress married the then-40-year-old oil executive from Texas.

He was reportedly the son of one of the famed Soong sisters, an American-educated trio who captivated China in the 20th century and included the wives of Sun Yat-Sen and Chiang Kai-shek.

For those of you unaware, both Sun Yat-Sen and Chiang Kai-shek were once the Presidents of the People's Republic of China. Meaning, Paget's third spouse was a nephew to not one but two first ladies. 

Paget and Kung welcomed their son Gregory into the world two years after getting married. Her last major on-screen appearance was also from around this time. 

After becoming a mother, apparently, Paget put all her attention to becoming a homemaker and put her on-screen days behind her. 

She enjoyed marital bliss for eighteen years before she and her spouse finally called it quits on their marriage in 1980. She came back on-screen briefly in the early 90s, but that too was short-lived.
