… actor Martin Sheen (whose real name is Ramon Estevez). Together for fifty years, the couple struggled during the early years of their marriage and reportedly moved from one apartment to another in New York City, each a bit worse than the last. With Martin's success in the play "The Subject Was Roses", his career started moving up, but not without further temporary slumps in the future. However, his starring role in "Apocalypse Now" put him forever in the star category. During the fimling of AN in the Phillipines, Janet provided stability for the family by having American food and resources delivered in pallets to the remote filming site.
