Tony Dow was previously married to Carol Marlow, and the couple tied the knot on June 14, 1969, when they were in their early twenties. The couple lived together for almost 11 years before finally getting divorced in 1980. They also had one child, a son named Christopher Dow, born on March 26, 1973. 

Personal Life and Marriages

Born on April 13, 1945, in Los Angeles, Tony Dow became a household name and established himself as a senior actor in Hollywood. Throughout his life, he was married twice. His first marriage was to Carol Marlow, who often gets associated with his name.

They got married on June 14, 1969, when Dow was just twenty-four years old.

The couple had a son named Christopher Dow, born on March 26, 1973. However, after almost eleven years of marriage, Dow and Marlow decided to part ways and eventually divorced in 1980.

After dating for three years, they tied the knot in 1980. Tony Dow and Lauren Shulkind were married for an impressive 42 years until Dow’s passing in June 2022.

The couple also had a son together, although information about him and their private life remains undisclosed due to Shulkind’s preference for a low-profile existence away from the media’s attention.

Carol Marlow: The First Wife

Carol Marlow holds significance in Tony Dow’s life as his first wife. While she gained some popularity through her marriage to the sitcom star, she was not involved in the entertainment industry herself. Not much information is available about her life after the divorce from Tony Dow.

Marlow chose to maintain a low-key profile, leading a private life and staying away from public scrutiny. As a result, there are limited details about her current activities or family life.

First Marriage to Carol Marlow

While Carol Marlow gained popularity through her marriage to Tony Dow, she was not an actress or public figure. Hence, not much information is available about her personal life after her divorce from Dow.

A Quiet Life After Divorce

After their separation, Carol Marlow kept a low profile and intentionally distanced herself from the media spotlight. Though social media and other platforms have gained popularity, there have been no recent sightings or reports about her.

Consequently, little is known about her current circumstances or if she remarried. It is worth noting that there is no evidence to confirm whether Marlow entered into another marriage or started a new family.

Preserving Privacy

Carol Marlow’s decision to maintain her privacy and keep her personal life away from the public eye has led to a lack of information about her current endeavors or relationships. While Tony Dow’s life and subsequent marriage have been reported to some extent, the same cannot be said for Carol Marlow.

As she remains an enigmatic figure, it is challenging to provide concrete details regarding her life after divorce or any potential new relationships.

Looking Ahead

Today, Carol Marlow’s whereabouts and activities remain unknown, and she continues to live a life outside of public view. As time has passed since her marriage to Tony Dow, there is a dearth of sufficient information available to shed light on her current circumstances.
