Two acclaimed performers first met on Broadway in 1993 while starring together in Anna Christie. Their connection was immediate and noticeable, both onstage and behind the scenes. At the time, one of them was still married, which made their growing bond complicated. Even so, their mutual respect and artistic chemistry continued to deepen, built on shared values and a strong understanding of one another.
When circumstances changed, their relationship moved forward openly. After the actress’s marriage ended, the two were married in 1994. Rather than seeking attention, they built a quiet, steady partnership admired by friends and colleagues. Their bond was marked by genuine affection, trust, and unwavering support for each other’s careers.
Family soon became the center of their lives. They welcomed their first son in 1995, followed by a second son 18 months later. Parenthood grounded them amid demanding schedules and strengthened their connection. Years later, the actress spoke publicly about her confidence in their marriage, expressing pride in her husband and the trust they shared.
In 2009, tragedy struck when the actress suffered a head injury during a skiing accident. Though it initially seemed minor, her condition rapidly worsened. Doctors later confirmed irreversible brain damage. Honoring a promise they had made, her husband made the heartbreaking decision to withdraw life support after loved ones said goodbye.
