Margaret Perry

Margaret Perry is one of two daughters of Antoinette 'Toni' Perry, namesake of the Tony Awards for Broadway Theater. Her sister Elaine Perry was a noted Broadway director and producer, who passed away on the family's Salt Works Ranch, in Colorado, in 1986. Most of Margaret's work was done on stage in New York and on tour. Margaret was married three times, to newspaperman Windsor French, to actor Burgess Meredith and finally, Paul Fanning, scenic artist and art director/co-producer of The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962). Margaret and Paul had four children: Karl, Antoinette (Toni-deceased 2003), John Taggart 'Tag' and Clare. She and Paul divorced in 1952 and Margaret retired to Colorado to raise her children. Margaret continued to live on the family's Salt Works Ranch, in South Park, Park County, Colorado until her death.
