Sarah Barg is the only woman who was married to both Glen Campbell and Mac Davis — two of the biggest names in 1970s country and pop music. Her 1976 marriage to Campbell, coming just months after her divorce from Davis, reportedly ended a close friendship between the two men.

She was the third wife of Glen Campbell and the second wife of Mac Davis. Both marriages ended in divorce. She and Campbell had one son, Dillon, before their 1980 separation.

Early Life
Sarah Barg was born in 1947 in the United States. Details about her childhood and family background are not documented in public records — she has never spoken about them publicly.
What is known comes largely from Mac Davis’s own accounts. He recalled that he first met Sarah when she was around 16 years old, living in the same apartment building as him with her mother. That chance encounter eventually led to a relationship that lasted into her twenties.
Career
Sarah worked as a post-production coordinator, reportedly at Universal Productions Service, where she was involved in television production work. Post-production coordination involves managing the editing, sound, visual effects, and delivery pipeline for TV shows and films — it is a legitimate, skilled production role that operates behind the camera.
Some sources have linked her name to productions including Weeds and Dexter, though this has not been confirmed by any credible industry record. Her verified professional background is in television post-production, separate from her marriages.
She was not a model or public figure in her own right — claims to that effect appear on various biography sites without sourcing.
Marriage to Mac Davis
Sarah and Mac Davis married in 1970. She was in her early twenties at the time. Davis was already an established and increasingly famous songwriter — he had written major hits for Elvis Presley, including “In the Ghetto,” “Memories,” “Don’t Cry Daddy,” and “A Little Less Conversation.”
Davis went on to launch his own performing career in the 1970s, scoring a number-one hit with “Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me” and hosting his own successful television variety show. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame over the course of his career. He also received the BMI Icon Award. In all, he released 19 albums over 25 years.
They had no children together. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1976. Neither party has ever publicly discussed the reasons.
Marriage to Glen Campbell
Within months of her divorce from Mac Davis, Sarah married Glen Campbell on September 2, 1976, in Carson City, Nevada. Campbell was at the peak of his fame at the time, known for hits like “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” and “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” He had won four Grammy Awards in 1967 alone and was named CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1968. Over his career, he sold more than 45 million records worldwide.
Campbell reportedly told people around that time:
“I can’t be alone, and we’re going to get married as soon as all the papers are in.”
The marriage produced one child — Dillon Campbell, born in 1980.
What is well-documented and relevant to understanding the marriage’s end is that during this period, Campbell became publicly involved with country singer Tanya Tucker. The affair was tabloid news at the time and widely covered — one outlet described it as his “most-chronicled escapade.” Sarah and Glen divorced on December 23, 1980, shortly after Dillon’s birth.
Campbell went on to marry Kimberly Woollen in 1982 — his fourth and final wife — with whom he had three more children: Cal, Shannon, and Ashley. He remained married to Woollen until his death in 2017.
The Friendship That Ended
Before either man married Sarah Barg, Glen Campbell and Mac Davis were reportedly close friends. The sequence of events — Davis’s divorce from Sarah in 1976 followed immediately by Campbell’s marriage to her that same year — reportedly caused a serious falling out between the two men.
As one long-time fan recalled:
“I remember when Mac was married to her and all of a sudden Glen Campbell was with her. Led to a nasty fight between these two singers and I don’t believe this was ever resolved. Very sad.”
Neither Campbell nor Davis ever publicly confirmed or denied the specifics of the rift. Both men continued their careers without referencing each other in interviews in any known public record.
Life After the Marriages
After 1980, Sarah Barg effectively left public life. There are no recorded interviews, no public statements, and no verifiable social media accounts connected to her.
She did not publicly comment when Glen Campbell announced his Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis in 2011, nor when he died on August 8, 2017, at the age of 81. She did not speak publicly when Mac Davis died on September 29, 2020, at the age of 78.
As of the latest available information, she remains private. Her current location is not publicly known.
Marriage Timeline
| Marriage | Years | Spouse | Children | How It Ended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 1970 – 1976 | Mac Davis | None | Divorce |
| Second | 1976 – 1980 | Glen Campbell | Dillon (born 1980) | Divorce |
Her Son, Dillon Campbell
Dillon Campbell, born in 1980, is Sarah’s only known child and Glen Campbell’s son from his third marriage.
Dillon pursued a music career and has been open about the personal challenges he faced along the way. According to his own biography, he has dealt with drug abuse, bipolar disorder, and the process of rehabilitation. His musical influences range from David Bowie to Paul Simon to Interpol — a broader palette than his father’s country roots.
In his own words:
“They say the best art and creative expression stems from trauma. When you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Among his notable work is “Letter from a Son,” a song he wrote for his father that was recorded and shared publicly. He has performed at over 200 shows across the country and released his debut album Born Beneath Power Lines in 2017.
Glen Campbell’s Estate and Inheritance
Glen Campbell died in August 2017 with an estate that was initially estimated unofficially to be worth millions of dollars. However, estimates given to the probate court in Davidson County, Nashville, listed its value at $420,221 — a figure that excluded future royalties from his music catalog.
His will, dated September 1, 2006, was a 13-page document that left his estate to his fourth wife, Kimberly Campbell, and five of his eight adult children. It specifically excluded three children from his second marriage to Billie Jean Nunley: William, Kelli, and Wesley.
Dillon Campbell, as a child from Glen’s third marriage, was not among those specifically excluded. However, the specifics of what Dillon may or may not have inherited have not been made public. Kimberly Campbell was named executor of the estate.
The excluded children filed a legal contest in early 2018, questioning their father’s mental capacity at the time the will was created. In November 2018, they agreed to dismiss their challenge. No settlement was made with the three siblings.
The legal dispute had deeper roots. During the six years Campbell battled Alzheimer’s disease — from his 2011 diagnosis until his 2017 death — a rift developed between his widow and some of his older children. When Campbell was moved to an assisted living facility in 2015, his two oldest children organized a legal petition for visitation rights. That effort resulted in the passage of new Tennessee legislation protecting visitation rights for family members of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Net Worth
Sarah Barg’s net worth is not publicly documented. Celebrity biography sites circulate a figure of $6 million, but none cite a source. Given that her divorce settlements from both Mac Davis and Glen Campbell are sealed, any specific number is speculation.

Conclusion
Sarah Barg’s story is, by her own design, defined more by what is absent than by what is present. She was married to two men who became household names. She was at the center of a friendship breakup between them. And then she walked away from all of it — no interviews, no memoirs, no social media presence, no public reappearance of any kind.
In a culture where proximity to celebrity is itself a form of currency, her choice to remain silent for over four decades is unusual enough to be notable. Neither Glen Campbell nor Mac Davis ever spoke publicly about the details of their marriages to her. Both have since passed — Campbell in 2017, Davis in 2020 — and Sarah Barg has said nothing about either loss.
What remains on the public record is a set of facts: two marriages, one son, a television career, and a long, deliberate silence. Everything beyond that is speculation — and the woman at the center of it appears to prefer it that way.
