Who is Marty Mitchell?
Marty and her mother Martha moved from New York to Washington DC for John to serve as Attorney General in 1969.
She was born on January 10, 1961, and attended the Stone Ridge Country Day School in Bethesda, Maryland.
Not much is known about where Marty is today, however, TheCinemaholic reports that a marriage notice bearing her name was published in March 1989.
It says the New York Times published a story claiming Marty was set to marry Paul Savidge of Silver Spring, Maryland.
She has attended a Roman Catholic school, despite not being Catholic, because her parents believed it would provide their daughter with the discipline they thought she needed.
It said Marty had graduated from Georgetown University and worked as an associate with Dean & Associates, a consulting firm involved in Washington real estate.
The marriage was said to have taken place in September 1989, with the nuptials posted by Mr and Mrs Kenneth C Ebbitt, Marty’s godparents.

John became Nixon’s Attorney General, a role he’d serve in between 1969 and 1972.
Martha was a flamboyant socialite who was known for her vivacious and outspoken personality.
Her role in the Watergate scandal was pivotal.
