John Astin is an actor who is best known for his role on a television show called The Addams Family. John Astin is a quiet, gentle man who often avoided confrontation with his children and wife. John met Patty Duke at a party in which they both discovered that the other had the same crippling fear of death. This common fear brought them together and led to a brief affair. However, John Astin was married at the time and chose to return to his wife and three children. Patty Duke learned she was pregnant soon after and allowed people to believe the father was Desi Arnaz Jr., the young man she had been dating at the time. However, Patty and John both believed for many years that Sean was John's child. This child brought them back together and they soon married when John's divorce from his first wife was final. The marriage lasted thirteen years and produced another child, Mackenzie. However, the marriage ended in 1985, when Patty found herself unable to accept the Buddhism John turned to after the death of his father.
