...humor, beauty and success, Close says she has found it "difficult to balance love and career." Her first marriage, at 21, to Rock Guitarist Cabot Wade, lasted three years, as did her second, to James Marlas, a Manhattan venture capitalist. The man in her life now is Producer John Starke, 37, who worked with her on Garp and is her partner in developing film projects. The two are expecting their first child in April or May.
