aka: Barbara Mattoon Shepherd

Shep's 1st wife

We have known about 3 of Shep's marriages for quite some time. The "1st" to Joan Warner with whom he had his 2 children, Randall and Adrien. His "second" marriage was to actress Lois Nettleton, and finally his last marriage was to his long time producer and companion, Leigh Brown. For years there had been rumors about Shep having been married prior to his marriage to Joan Warner. This would have been his real 1st marriage followed by the others as 2, 3 and 4.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
