She died in 1982. The article goes on to say that his first marriage failed. He had 3 children (daughters) from that marriage, & they live with their mother. He has a son, Walter, who was 3 in 1991, by a former girlfriend.

It also says he wound up in the hospital with pneumonia after filming the vision scene in Son of the Morning Star, because it was shot in -25 F & he wore only a breechcloth.
