She was briefly engaged to Kirk Douglas in the early 50’s. She met Dean while she was filming Chalice, and he Eden. Their relationship was brief, but very emotional and involved. The relationship ended after many complications, including his desire to return to New York, her mother’s strong disapproval, among their other differences. Pier Angeli married Vic Damone in 1954, which lasted only 4 years. They had a son named Perry in 1955. She married her second husband Armando Trovaioli in 1962 , with whom she had her son Andrew. They divorced in 1969.
