==Personal life==
Betty Box was married to [[Peter Rogers]], producer of the ''[[Carry On films|Carry On]]'' film series, from 24 December 1948 until her death.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article55927666 |title=MOVIE MARRIAGES—1. |newspaper=[[The Mail (Adelaide)|The Mail]] |location=Adelaide |date=8 January 1949 |access-date=17 December 2015 |page=2 Supplement: SUNDAY MAGAZINE |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> It was her second marriage; her first, to a pilot during the war, ended in divorce.

Box and Rogers did not have any children; "We made the choice not to have children", said Box in 1973. "I don't think I would have made a very good mother. You know making a movie is like having a baby – it takes eight weeks to film and nine months to
produce." She was godmother to Donald Sinden's youngest son [[Marc Sinden]].

Box was appointed [[Order of the British Empire|OBE]] in 1958.

She died in [[Chiltern District|Chiltern]], [[Buckinghamshire]], aged 83 from cancer in 1999.<ref>[http://www.findmypast.com/BirthsMarriagesDeaths.jsp]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220163304/http://www.findmypast.com/BirthsMarriagesDeaths.jsp|date=February 20, 2009}}</ref>
