Caitlin Thomas (Template:Pron-en),[dubious – discuss] born MacNamara (December 8, 1913 - July 31, 1994) was the wife of Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas. She authored the book Leftover Life to Kill.
MacNamara was born in Hammersmith, London, to Francis and Yvonne MacNamara. At 16 entered a dancing school. She eventually settled in Ireland, in County Clare, then Paris.
MacNarama met Thomas in a bar in London in 1936, and the pair were married on 11 July, 1937 in Penzance, Cornwall. The couple had three children.
After Thomas' death in 1953, Caitlin moved to Italy. In 1957 she met Giuseppe Fazio, with whom she later had one child. She blamed Thomas' sudden death on medical malpractice.
By her own account, after the death of Thomas she experienced severe emotional and psychological distress, even being institutionalized at one point. She began to attend Alcoholics Anonymous in 1973, aged 60.
In popular culture
Two films about MacNamara have been made: The Edge of Love, previously known by its working title The Best Time of Our Lives, in which MacNamara is played by Sienna Miller; and Caitlin (with Miranda Richardson and Rosamund Pike depicting the title character at different points in her life).
