May 1966, she was editor of Hollywood Studio Magazine, using her married name, Joan Evans Weatherly. Later years Evans became an educator, and in the 1970s, she was the director of Carden Academy in Van Nuys, California. Personal life On July 24, 1952, when Evans was 18 years old, she married car dealer Kirby Weatherly in Joan Crawford's home. Her parents asked Crawford, their daughter's godmother, to dissuade her from marrying, since she was so young, but Crawford (reportedly bearing a grudge against Evans' parents over a perceived offense) not only gave the couple her blessing, but she made the arrangements and had the wedding ceremony performed right in her own house without notifying Evans' parents. Evans's marriage to Weatherly lasted, but the friendship between Evans' parents and Crawford ended permanently. The Weatherlys had a daughter on August 16, 1955. In 1984, Joan Evans and her husband signed a tribute to Joan Crawford in Daily Variety.
