Johnny Cash's first wife was called Vivian Liberto, they were married from 1954 until their divorce in 1966 (a result of Johnnys unfaithfulness and drug abuse) not only was she the mother of three of his children but she was also the inspiration of many of his songs including "Walk The Line" (contrary to what the biopic of the same name implies which claims it is about his next wife June Carter) They had 4 daughters together (Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy, Tara) (in the movie you only see 3 of them) and he really wrote I walk the line for her.
