Ed Begley Jr. learned the truth about his biological mother when he was just a teenager, and felt the revelation had a lasting impact on his life.
Ed Begley Jr. learned life-changing information about his biological mother in an unusual way. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Begley reflected on discovering the woman he thought had been his mother, Amanda, was in fact his stepmom. 'Just before I turned 16, I was with my father en route to take my driver’s license test. On my birth certificate, the box for my mother’s name was blank. Amanda had died of cancer in 1957, when I was 7,' he recalled.
He continued, 'Later he told me Sandy had been an NBC page with whom he had an affair. The result was my sister, Allene, then me, 11 months later. Nothing in our family was what it seemed. Our older brother Tom turned out to be our cousin.' Begley explained that he and his sister would meet with Sandy regularly when he was younger and they both enjoyed her company. However, he admitted that when he learned the truth about their relationship, he 'felt cheated and lied to.
But little work followed, and I was upset that my mother’s identity had been hidden from me for so long. Both led me to start drinking and stealing pills from the medicine cabinet,' he said. The 'Best in Show' star got sober in 1979 and said that’s when he 'began to grow up.' Begley was married to his first wife, Ingrid Taylor, from 1976 to 1989. The couple had two children together, a son, Nicholas, and a daughter, Amanda.
In 2016, the 'St. Elsewhere' star was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, but told The Wall Street Journal he’s doing well. 'I rarely tremble. My wife did enormous research, and I have a great neurologist,' he said, adding, 'Once again, I’m very lucky.'
