![]() ![]() Nine months later, Roseanne was born and shortly after that, Johnny’s first record was released and he set off on tour. After coming back, the two married in 1954 and moved to Memphis. It was love at first sight between the two and went off to active duty in Germany, they sent each other nearly 1,000 love letters before he returned home. Vivian was a devoutly Catholic 17-year-old girl growing up as part of a Sicilian-American family in San Antonio when she met Johnny, then an Air Force cadet, at a local roller rink-there is much debate among their children about whether or not he deliberately bumped into her as a way of introducing himself. Using a treasure trove of home movies, photos, and hundreds of love letters between Johnny and Vivian, along with interviews with her four daughters, acclaimed singer Roseanne Cash, Kathy Cash Tittle, Cindy Cash and Tars Cash Schwoebel, director Matt Riddlehoover presents a portrait of Vivian that is far more complex and detailed than has ever been seen before. The new documentary “My Darling Vivian” hopes to offer her legacy-she passed away in 2005, just before the release of “Walk the Line”-a corrective to her depiction in various chronicles of Cash’s story (including the spoof performance by Kristin Wiig in the satirical cult favorite “ Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story").
