Howard's mother died in London in 1930, and her father married Polly Damrosch, the daughter of German-American conductor and composer Walter Damrosch. Howard lost her father nine years later on their farm near Tyringham, Massachusetts, when they lost their father in a tractor crash.

The marriage was short-lived, and she married film director Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. in August 1950. The couple had four children, including business executive Francis Goldwyn, actor Tony Goldwyn, and studio executive John Goldwyn. Some 18 years later, this marriage came to an end.
