In 1989, de Winter played Marie Antoinette in a six-hour radio drama, Bastille, produced by the University of Chicago on WFMT in Chicago, Illinois.[12] She also played Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton in a production of Hamilton & Burr, with the California Artists Radio Theatre.[13]

He was a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II;[14] he later served as chief of protocol in Washington, D.C., and as a member of the NATO planning staff. They had one son, Robert Jr., and one daughter, Robyn. As a military wife, she was involved in embassy and officers' wives activities, and gave presentations to women's groups.[4] They lived in Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and in Italy, before they moved to Port Hueneme in 1965,[15] after Col.
