a honeymoon, and instead sped back to California to partake in the 1941 animator's strike, which had started the day prior. The Hubleys moved to a house at 10543 Woodbridge Street in the Toluca Lake section of Los Angeles. The couple’s first child, Anne, was born in 1942. John and Claudia had two more children, Mark and Susan, while living at 11689 Laurelwood Drive in Los Angeles. Both houses were only a short drive from the UPA studio in Burbank. Sometime in the 1940s, Hubley met Faith Elliott, a stage manager from New York City who had come to Los Angeles to become a script clerk at Columbia. Faith recalled she “met John in Hollywood…when he was in the Army”. The two became friends and remained friends during Hubley’s time at UPA. When Hubley was fired from UPA and began work on Finian's Rainbow, Yip Harburg assigned Elliott to be Hubley’s assistant. By all accounts, the relationship between Hubley and Elliott was platonic, with Elliott saying they “both… controlled their friendship for ten years and after all [Hubley] was a married man with three children”. Nonetheless, as Elliott and Hubley grew closer, Hubley’s own marriage crumbled. John and Claudia divorced in 1954, with his children staying in Los Angeles while Hubley left to focus on Storyboard, Inc. in New York City. Hubley married Elliott in 1955. Faith Elliott was born Faith Chestman in 1924, but kept the name of her first husband, Melvin Elliott, a radio announcer on WQXR. Faith already had one child, Mark, born in 1952. When the Hubleys married, they vowed to make one film a year together, and to have dinner with their family every night. The Hubleys moved to the Upper West Side of New York City at 110 Riverside Drive, and had three more children: Raymond, Emily, and Georgia. All of the Hubley’s children would voice characters in their films, with Mark and Ray appearing in Moonbird and Dig, and Emily and Georgia appearing in Windy Day and Cockaboody. All four are featured in Everybody Rides the Carousel. Raymond Hubley later remembered “there were a lot of enforced things…in our family that [were] connected to the work regiment of [John and Faith’s] relationship…they used to have a thing where we’d go around the table and tell [about] your day, and it was like a pitch meeting or something”. Many of Hubleys kids went on
