Laura Linney Husband, Kids, Siblings, Parents (Family Members)

Описание: Laura Linney is an American actress born in February 1964 in Manhattan, New York. From starring as Meryl Burbank in The Truman Show to playing other leading roles in Mystic River and Ozark, Linney is definitely an embodiment of versatility and talents.

However, while her ability to light up the screen is widely admired, many do not know that her family has greatly contributed to her growth. So, are you ready to see who her family members are?

Laura's father, Romulus Zachariah Linney IV, was an infamous playwright. He earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in directing from the Yale School of Drama. And in the 1960s, his career got off to an early start.

In his lifetime, Linney IV had a total of three marriages—the first two ending in divorces. He fathered Laura in his first marriage, to Ann Leggett. In 2011 and at the ripe age of 80, he bade the world farewell.

Laura Linney can be said to have shared a tight bond with her mother, Ann Leggett. Ann divorced Romulus when Laura was still young and had to raise the actress as a single mother. Despite working as a nurse at a New York cancer hospital, she was able to provide a warm and loving home for Laura, amidst the Manhattan hubbub.

The Ozark star has just one sibling, a paternal half-sister, who further proves that creativity runs in the family. Susan Linney was born to Romulus, in his second marriage to Margaret Andrews, and has grown to become a gifted and engaging writer. She is a mother of two and is married to a man simply known as Andy.

In 1995, Laura got married to fellow American actor, David Adkins. However, the union turned sour; and just 5 years later, the couple called it quits.

Soon after the incident though, she was ready to test the waters again. And this time, it was with Marc Schauer, a real estate agent she met at the Telluride film festival. One thing led to another and after a 5-year dating period, the duo decided to make things official in 2009.

In January 2014, the couple welcomed a son — Bennett Armistaed Schauer. Take a guess, how old was Laura when she gave birth? The answer is 49.

Despite her late childbirth, Laura has chosen to be optimistic. She has made peace with the fact that she might not witness a large part of her son's life. Nonetheless, she views motherhood as a miracle that has touched her in every way.
