Editing Robert Young (actor) (section)

==Personal life and death==
Young was married to Betty Henderson for 61 years from 1933 until her death in 1994. They had four daughters: Carol Proffitt, Barbara Beebe, Kathy Young, and Betty Lou Gleason. They also had six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Despite his trademark portrayal of happy, well-adjusted characters, Young's bitterness toward Hollywood casting practices never diminished, and he suffered from [[Major depressive disorder|depression]] and alcoholism, culminating in a suicide attempt in January 1991.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-01-20-me-841-story.html|title=Robert Young, 83, Attempted Suicide, Authorities Reveal|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|last=Kazmin|first=Amy Louise |date=January 20, 1991|access-date=July 20, 2017}}</ref> Later, he spoke candidly about his personal problems in an effort to encourage others to seek help. The Robert Young Community Mental Health Center is named after Young in honor of his work toward passage of the 708 Illinois Tax Referendum, which established a property tax to support mental health programs in his home state. The center started in [[Rock Island, Illinois]], and now has sites in both Iowa and Illinois, as part of the Quad-City metropolitan area.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unitypoint.org/quadcities/filesimages/SafetyNetinPeril_Web.pdf |title=A Safety Net in Peril: The State of Public Mental Health in the Quad-Cities|date=January 13, 2018}}</ref>
