Abramson was married in 1967 to Janet (Janis) Young in a small country church near Philadelphia.
His wife was a stage, movie and television actress, appearing in The Boston Strangler with Tony Curtis- as the only potential victim to survive, and in Loving, with George Segal, as his "adulterer partner".
