Trivia

Both Cobina and her late husband were alcoholics. Following his death and her own recovery, she devoted much of her time to volunteering in programs at Beacon House. She also served on the board of the National Council on Alcoholism.

Husband Palmer was an heir to a vast fortune. When he died in 1968 of a heart attack, Cobina Jr. found that their spacious Carmel Valley home was all she owned. It seems that the share of Palmer`s estate, which he inherited from his father, reverted, as per his father`s will, back to Palmer`s brothers and sisters.

Her husband, Palmer Beaudette, was an Army corporal at the time they married in 1941. He butted heads with Cobina`s assertive mother about the direction of his wife/her daughter`s career. Cobina Jr. retired in 1943.

Her mother was famed society columnist `Cobina Wright Sr`. An aggressive and undeterred socialite when it came to fame and success, she pushed Cobina Jr. into a show business career which included singing, modeling and acting.

Has three sons and a daughter, Oliver Joseph, William Wright, Palmer Beaudette Jr., and Cobina III (aka Cee Cee). She also has a stepdaughter, Suzanne, from her late husband`s earlier marriage.

Retired from films to marry Palmer Beaudette.
