This Hollywood Star Was Once Left Homeless with Two Kids and $9 Million in Debt by Her Ex-Husband

This TV star has experienced multiple marriages, though she initially intended to marry just once. Despite her hopes, each of her unions concluded in divorce — outcomes she did not desire. Remarkably, she has maintained amicable relationships with all of her former spouses.

The famous British actress has been married four times and is a mother of six, including two stepchildren. She faced financial ruin and homelessness after her third divorce but overcame these challenges with admirable strength.

With a career spanning decades, the veteran actress has shined on Broadway in “Amadeus,” on the big screen in “Live and Let Die,” and on TV as the star of “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.” Despite her success, her greatest pride is her family.

Besides her immense professional success, the star’s personal life has been more complex. Though her marriages didn’t last, she still maintains close friendships with all her ex-husbands.

Reflecting on her journey in an interview, she shared, “Every. Single. One. I intended to be married forever [each time]. It was my partners who didn’t.”

Her first union with theater director Michael Attenborough lasted from 1971 to 1973. Looking back in another interview, she candidly said, “My first marriage, in my opinion, did not count. We were young. […] We still adore each other.”

When speaking of her second husband, author Geoffrey Planer, to whom she was married from 1977 to 1978, the actress admitted that he “is probably one of my closest friends on the planet.”
