Personal life
Amy Madigan married Ed Harris on 21 November 1983, and they have a daughter named Lily Dolores who was born after 10 years on 3 May 1993.
According to Amy, she first saw Ed on stage in Sam Shepard’s play, “Cowboy Mouth,” in 1980 and said that he had a powerful presence with the kind of vulnerability that draws people.
She also said in a Time magazine interview that, ‘It was like something you see in a movie or hear in a song.’ It was obvious to her that she’d see him again after that. They first met at Lee Strasberg’s acting school as they worked on the stage production of “Prairie Avenue” in 1981. It was during the first rehearsal that Ed noticed Amy, who sat on an empty chair beside him. Madigan invited him over to her house one day at lunch break to rehearse over a tuna fish sandwich. Harris said nothing happened that day but that eventually, ‘nature took its course.’
According to Ed, it was when Amy critiqued his performance in the play, “Fool for Love,” and he listened without getting defensive that he realized that marriage to her would be inevitable.
It was during the filming of their first movie together – “Places in the Heart” (1984) – in which they played the role of a couple having an affair that they decided to marry. He said that they sneaked away after breakfast to go to the Waxahachie County, and were married by the justice of the peace.
Not only is the couple stil (apparently) happily married, they also have a good working relationship, as they’ve continued to work together on several projects such as the Louis Malle movie, “Alamo Bay” (1985); the biopic “Pollock” (2000) for which Ed was also the director and producer; and the directorial debut of Ben Affleck in “Gone Baby Gone” (2007).
They currently live in Malibu, California.
