Her first marriage was to actor James Stacy (1968–1969). They had one child, Heather.
"She met Jim Stacy during an episode of Gunsmoke. Kim has man-appeal and Jim was enchanted with her. They were married and in seven months their baby daughter Heather arrived. But the marriage was in trouble.
One of her friends says, "It was a horrible experience for her. She's so sensitive and he didn't begin to understand her." Jim Stacy's friends say Kim gave him a bad time. At any rate Kim charged that Jim beat her. And he claimed she earned more than he was getting—which was $2,250 a week for being a regular on TV's Lancer. Jim was ordered to pay $400 a month child support while Kim waived alimony and actually had to pay him $2,000 for his interest in their Coldwater Canyon house."
Kim later described Stacy as her first true love, said they were raising their daughter amicably - and there were rumors at times of them reuniting.
