Tom Skerritt’s Two Attempts at Marriage Both Failed
At the age of 21, the star of the show East of the Mountains got married to the young artist Charlotte R. Shanks and had a kid with her. Skerritt was married to his first wife beginning in 1957 and continuing until 1972. The last few years of the actor’s marriage were a struggle for both of them. Due to the fact that his wife had been diagnosed with a mental disorder, he found it difficult to provide for their three children. The actor’s eldest son, Colin Skerritt, has not reconciled with him despite their generational gap. Skerritt is taken to task for his alleged lack of presence as a parent.
Erin, his second-oldest daughter and a well-known poet, expressed her understanding and empathy for her father, acknowledging that she could relate to his situation. He would bring his children to the set and try to take care of them because their mother was sick, but he was too busy to do so. So, Skerritt became a single parent until he got married again to Susan Ellen Aran. The couple got married in 1977 and stayed married for 15 years until 1992. Colin is the son of Skerritt and Susan. The couple purchased a house on Lopez Island in 1980 and decided to open a bed and breakfast. However, Skerritt’s marriage to Susan did not last. They got divorced in 1992. They never disclosed the reason for their divorce.
