Another member of the company was [[Douglas Drew]], whom she married in Cape Town in March 1917.  In addition she appeared as a “sweet young thing” in ''[[The Water Cure]]'' (1916), a short film directed by [[B.F.

 Her marriage to [[Douglas Drew]] (original name Douglas Lange) was short-lived and soon after their son was born she divorced him.  In July 1918 she married John Sugden Moore, a wool merchant from Bradford in Yorkshire.  Back in England she took  the surname of her new husband, thus becoming June Langley Moore.  Her younger sister Doris (b. 1902), who became a distinguished fashion historian and designed Katharine Hepburn’s costumes for ''The African Queen'' (1951), married John’s brother Robert, and became Doris Langley Moore. Together the sisters wrote “The bride’s book, or Young housewife’s companion” (by Two Ladies of England/1932) and “The pleasure of your company: a text-book of hospitality” (1936).  At home in Yorkshire, June Langley continued to act as a non-professional, notably for the Leeds Repertory Company.  After her divorce from Moore in 1945, she married Walter Bateson, a retired wing commander in the RAF, and died in Brighton at the age of 66.  Her first-born son, who was named Cedric Joseph Lange, later changed his name by deed pole and as [[Jeremy Hawk]] (1918-2002) had a successful career on stage, film and television.  Actress Belinda Lang is Jeremy Hawk’s daughter and thus June Langley’s granddaughter.
