From Melissa Gilbert's autobiography: “With Rob [Lowe] in Toronto, I began an on-set romance with the third AD, Frank Capra III (FC3). Though it wasn’t intentional, I got a taste of what Rob went through on The Hotel New Hampshire, and he got a taste of what I experienced on the other end. He would call and I wouldn’t be in my room.” When Gilbert was spending time with Capra, she told Lowe that she was out of her room admiring the famous lights of Marfa, where the movie was being filmed. But Lowe didn’t buy Gilbert’s excuse. He wrote her a letter that said “he didn’t believe I was out all night looking at some stupid Marfa lights, and he warned that what I was doing was dangerous to us.” When production moved from Marfa to Lexington, where Lowe could visit, Gilbert ended her fling with FC3. Eventually, the A New Kind of Family actor confronted his girlfriend about what she’d done while filming. “Sobbing, I confessed, apologized, and begged his forgiveness,” she wrote. “He also apologized for not having been available to me when I needed him.”
