Vivian Liberto

Description: (American Homemaker, Author and First Wife of Singer Johnny Cash)

Vivian Liberto was the first wife of the legendary American country singer, Johnny Cash. She was a devoted mother and homemaker who preferred to stay away from the limelight throughout her life, specifically during the time she was married to her famous husband. A privacy seeker, Liberto was always dedicated towards her family and the growth and nourishment of her children. During her last years, she co-authored her autobiography called, ‘I Walked the Line: My Life with Johnny’, which details the pressures that come along with fame, calling it an antidote to the celebrity culture. The posthumously published memoir was the only book written by Liberto, which essentially described her 13-year long marriage and bittersweet memories with Cash.
