They had one son, Steve Rowland, born in 1932, who later became a music producer in the UK, and has recently published his memoir ''Hollywood Heat''. Rowland, before becoming involved in film, studied law at U.S.C. He later got work as a script clerk for MGM. This eventually led him to becoming a film director.
