Ann filed a civil suit against her mother and the doctors in January 1963. A San Francisco district attorney charged them with “mayhem,” a crime that was punishable by up to 14 years in prison. But in the end, the charges were dropped, and Ann settled for $150,000.

Maryon died of a stroke at the age of 55 in 1939. Ann married five times before dying of cancer at the age of 40 in 1956.
