Sara Dylan (born October 28, 1939 in Wilmington, Delaware), born as Shirley Marlin Noznisky and later known as Sara Lownds, was the first wife of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. She was married to Bob Dylan from November 1965 until June 1977. Sara Lownds and Bob Dylan were wed in a secret ceremony on November 22, 1965, during a break in his tour. The marriage took place under an oak tree on a judge's lawn on Long Island. The only other participants were Albert Grossman and a maid of honor for Sara. They had four children together, and Bob also adopted her daughter from a previous marriage. The often turbulent marriage officially ended in divorce in 1977, but much of the 70's saw on again/off again separations, mostly related to Bob's alleged affairs with other women, namely long-time lover Joan Baez. Sara and Joan co-starred with Bob in the 1978 movie Renaldo and Clara, shedding a humorous light on the love triangle.Although their divorce was rocky, it is said that Bob and Sara regularly kept in touch after their divorce. Undoubtedly, a common love for their children is what bound them together.
