Qui es va casar amb Mary Sue Hubbard?

Mary Sue Hubbard (née Whipp; June 17, 1931 – November 25, 2002) was the third wife of L. Ron Hubbard, from 1952 until his death in 1986. She was a leading figure in Scientology for much of her life. The Hubbards had four children: Diana (born 1952), Quentin (1954–1976), Suzette (born 1955), and Arthur (born 1958).

She became involved in Hubbard's Dianetics in 1951, while still a student at the University of Texas at Austin, becoming a Dianetics auditor. She soon became involved in a relationship with Hubbard and married him in March 1952. She accompanied her husband to Phoenix, Arizona, where they established the Hubbard Association of Scientologists – the forerunner of the Church of Scientology, which was itself founded in 1953. She was credited with helping to coin the word "Scientology", going on to play a leading role in the management of the Church of Scientology and rising to become the head of the Church's Guardian's Office (GO). In August 1978, she was indicted by the United States government on charges of conspiracy relating to illegal covert operations mounted by the Guardian's Office against government agencies. She was convicted in December 1979 and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment and the payment of a $10,000 fine. She was forced to resign her post in 1981 and served a year in prison in 1983, after exhausting her appeals against her conviction.

In the late 1990s, Hubbard fell ill with breast cancer and died in 2002.

L. Ron Hubbard o encara Ron Hubbard (Tilden, Nebraska, 13 de març del 1911 - Creston, Califòrnia, 24 de gener del 1986), nom amb què es coneix Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, va ser un escriptor estatunidenc d'obres de ciència-ficció.

Actualment, però, se'l coneix sobretot per haver elaborat, l'any 1950, la "Dianètica", un mètode que va descriure com una "tècnica de desenvolupament personal". I, sobretot, per ser el fundador de la "Cienciologia", moviment que primer va presentar com una filosofia laica, però que el desembre del 1953 va declarar com una religió. A partir d'aleshores es va dedicar supervisar el creixement del que va esdevenir una gran organització mundial, abans de tornar a l'escriptura de ciència-ficció al final de la seva vida.
