The More You Know: She was married to Malcolm McDowell from 1980-1990. Did you know that? I didn't. That was really before she was on my radar (1993, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?) They met filming Time After Time, which is about H.G. Wells using a time machine to hunt Jack the Ripper. What? They have 2 kids.
And she's been married to Ted Danson since 1995. She seems like a nice lady.
