[edit] Personal Life
In contrast to her stable professional life, Foss’s private life has been less settled. Foss has been married four times and did not know her real father, Robert Graham, until she was in her twenties. For many years she was told by her mother, Wilma, that her stone mason stepfather, Gene McFadden was her real father. In her teens, Foss dropped out of high school to marry Gary Lockwood who is a physician in Kansas City. Lockwood is the father of her two children, Kary, born when Foss was 17 and Scott, born when Foss was 19. [2] Foss divorced Lockwood in her twenties and married Kansas City architect Michael Foss whose name she kept. In her thirties she divorced Foss and married Saint Louis attorney David Lacks. In her forties she divorced Lacks and married a younger man, Jim Whiteley, who is now a part time gambling counselor and residential real estate salesman.
