The couple moved in together two weeks after meeting. They married on January 28, 1982.

The actors appeared together on screen multiple times. They co-hosted Saturday Night Live in 1983 and played Matilda’s stern parents in the film Matilda.

Personal life and separation

The pair grew their family during their careers. Their three children were born in the 1980s.
