(1976 - 1996) (divorced) (2 children)
In 1976, Boreman married Larry Marchiano, a cable installer who later owned a dry wall business. They had two children, Dominic Paul Marchiano (born 1977) and Lindsay (born 1980). They lived in a small town on Long Island called Center Moriches. Boreman was then going through the liver transplant that her injuries from the automobile accident had necessitated, owing to the poorly screened blood she received in the tranfusions. For a while, marriage and particularly motherhood brought her some stability and happiness. But in 1990, Larry's business went bankrupt and the family moved to Colorado.
In The Other Hollywood, Boreman painted a largely unflattering picture of Marchiano, claiming he drank to excess, verbally abused her children, and was occasionally violent with her. Their divorce, in 1996, was civil, and the two remained in contact with each other for the remainder of her life.
