Hallstrom has never married and has no children, which is why she believes she was the one member of "The Price Is Right" who could stand up to what she called "miserable tyranny at the hands of a mad dictator" (referring to Barker). During the nearly ten years her lawsuit was in the courts, she spent all of her resources and savings, sold her house, and ended up living out of her car. As she said in interviews regarding that period of her life, "I refused to give up and let that evil old bastard win." Hallstrom is now semi-retired and living in one of several houses she owns, all of which are in and around San Antonio. She does give occasional interviews for shows such as "The Today Show" and "The View".
