I think she was married to Greg Mullavey. She died in 2000 from a brain tumor.
Thanks. That name sounds about right. Sorry, tho, to hear about the brain tumor. She would have been pretty young in 2000.
Baxter has been married three times. Her first marriage was to Robert Lewis Bush in 1966; they had two children before divorcing in 1971. She then married actor David Birney, whom she met on the set of the sitcom Bridget Loves Bernie where she played his wife on the series. After the show was canceled, the couple became engaged and were married in 1974. From that date until their divorce in 1989, she was credited as Meredith Baxter Birney, a name still commonly associated with her by the general public as she went by it during her most prominent period of work. They have three children. In 1995 she married actor and screenwriter Michael Blodgett; they divorced in 2000.
In 2009 the The National Enquirer published a piece, later picked up by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, that Baxter was seen on a lesbian cruise with a female friend which led to speculation on whether or not she was lesbian or simply enjoying the cruise as a platonic straight friend. On December 2, 2009, she came out as lesbian on NBC’s Today television program. She lives with her partner, Nancy Locke, a general contractor.
