When Vivian Liberto first met Johnny Cash, he was a handsome, young Air Force cadet. While he was stationed in Germany, they wrote each other thousands of love letters, fantasizing about starting a family and a life together. When he returned, their dreams came true. Vivian and Johnny quickly got married, and a pregnancy followed right away. But what started as a beautiful romance would end in tragic heartbreak. As their young family grew, so did Johnny Cash’s fame, bringing along obstacles neither of them could have foreseen. While he was off on tour for long periods of time, Vivian was often left behind to raise their four daughters on her own. Vivian was never prepared for the level of notoriety that came with being the wife of Johnny Cash. Between the distance, the drug use, and the rumors of Cash’s affair with June Carter, Vivian eventually filed for divorce, largely erasing herself from Cash’s history. But Vivian’s story is worth telling. A documentary exploring the unknown story of Vivian Liberto, MY DARLING VIVIAN is a fascinating look at the first woman behind the man. — G.S.
