Personal Life
In 1913, Leo Carrillo married Edith Shakespeare, of Nyack, New York, whom he met backstage at the New York theater where she had seen him perform. They remained together until her death in 1953. They lived in "Los Alisos" ("The Sycamores") on Channel Road, in Santa Monica Canyon. The Carrillos had one child, a daughter Marie Antoinette Carrillo. They spent part of their time at their 4,500-acre ranch in Carlsbad. Boy Scout groups were frequently permitted by Carrillo to camp on the grounds.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
