Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny author, Margaret Wise, was briefly engaged before she dated U.S. representative William Gaston. She had a summer fling with Preston Schoyer, and then in 1940, she began a long-term relationship with Blanch Oelrichs, the former wife of John Barrymore.

In 1952, she met James Stillman “Pebble” Rockefeller Jr. at a party, and they got engaged later that year.
