Personal life
While Color of Night was in production, March began dating the film's co-producer, Carmine Zozzora. The couple married in June 1993, with Willis as the best man and Demi Moore as the maid of honour.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> According to Color of Night director Richard Rush, March still received many offers from Hollywood studios after the film's release, but Zozzora required the studios to also hire him as the producer for any film in which March would star, a condition most studios rejected.<ref name="auto">Template:Cite AV media notes</ref> For this reason, March did not star in more films during their marriage.<ref name="auto"/>
March and Zozzora separated in 1997 and divorced in 2001. A few years later, March married Steven Waddington. They have one child.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
