Longtime marriage

In addition to a successful career in Hollywood, Markie also had an admirable marriage. Everything started in the early 1980s when she met Michael A. Ross at an acting class. The couple married shortly after that and settled in Toluca Lake outside Los Angeles, near Bob Hope’s mansion.

Markie and Michael A. Ross raised two beautiful daughter, Kate and Daisy. The acting couple had a strong marriage and often worked side by side, helping each other in their profession.

When asked about the secret behind her long marriage in 2011, Markie replied:

”We just decided that no matter what, dead or alive, we’re getting to the end of our lives together. You have that as your goal, you know that it’s going to be boring sometimes. You know it’s going to be hard. You can get on each other’s nerves. All that stuff is sort of a given. It is. You can’t be spoiled and think that life is always going to be wonderful all the time, but if it’s wonderful 80 percent of the time, you’re really lucky.”

Markie Post and Michael Ross were married for 39 years before tragedy struck.
