In 1969, they welcomed daughter Vanessa Marshall, who also chose a career in entertainment. She became a well-known voice-over artist and actually gave up on her on-camera acting career. Instead, Vanessa Marshall has lent her voice to animated films, television series, and several video games.
John Marshall went on to become an Emmy newsman, working on KNBC-TV and NBC. Heās had a flourishing career just as his wife Joan, and while the couple was working hard to make it in their respective fields, Vanessa was growing up.
For Van Ark, becoming a mother while trying to navigate through the business was tough. And she gives credit to her husband, John, for keeping the family together during those stressful years.
āHe is the reason we have the most wonderful daughter in the world and that the marriage has stayed strong,ā Van Ark told The Leader-Post in 1988. āI feel I am the committed person who canāt give up time for this or that.ā
āHe did not want to miss watching Venessa grow up, and he did not want to miss me,ā she added. āHe knows correspondents live out of suitcases. John made career choices I didnāt agree with because if it had been me, I would have packed my bags, and I would have been waiving at the airport.ā
