At the tender age of 17, the petite actress Mary Akin tied the knot with a man who was a significant 21 years her senior, a stark contrast to the societal norms of the time. This was not his first marriage, as he had previously exchanged vows with another individual in 1905, although the records of this union have unfortunately been lost to the annals of time, and he had since divorced.
Despite this checkered past, Carewe and Akin went on to build a life together, welcoming two children into their family during their initial marriage. Their daughter, Sally Ann, was born in 1925, followed closely by their son, William, in 1927. Later, during their second marriage, the couple would welcome a third child, Carol Lee, who was born in 1932.
