She met Hugh Franklin, to whom she was married until his death in 1986, while they were rehearsing The Cherry Orchard, and they were married on tour during a run of The Joyous Season, starring Ethel Barrymore.Ms. L'Engle retired from the stage after her marriage, and the Franklins moved to northwest Connecticut and opened a general store.
