Kathleen Quinlan Net Worth $6 million
Kathleen was the only child of military supply supervisor Josephine, and television sports director Robert Quinlan. She was still attending Tamalpais High School majoring in drama when she debuted as an actress at her age of 19, appearing in the 1972 drama movie “Two Is a Happy Number”. This role went uncredited, so her official debut occurred in 1973, when she was cast for the George Lucas’ drama movie “American Graffiti”. These involvements provided the basis for Kathleen Quinlan’s net worth.
The next several years Quinlan spent mastering her skills through numerous support roles, primarily in TV series, including “Police Woman”, “Lucas Tanner” and “The Waltons”. The real breakthrough in her on-camera career occurred in 1977, when she portrayed the schizophrenic teenage girl Deborah Blake in Anthony Page’s fantasy drama movie “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.” The movie was nominated for an Oscar while Kathleen earned her first Golden Globe Award nomination. Doubtlessly, all these engagements helped Kathleen Quinlan to establish herself as a young, prominent actress and also positively impacted her wealth.
Although she had appeared in several leading roles through the rest of the 1970s and 1980s, a more notable role came in 1991 when she was cast as Patricia Kennealy in Oliver Stone’s biographical drama “The Doors”. In 1995 Kathleen was cast as Marylyn Lovell, opposing Tom Hanks in the leading role of documentary drama based on a true story – “Apollo 13”, a performance which earned her nominations for both Academy as well as Golden Globe Awards. There are several other memorable big screen performances in Kathleen’s acting portfolio, such as “Lawn Dogs” (1997), “The Hills Have Eyes” (2006) and “Beach” (2007). She has also appeared in various TV series such as, apart from those already mentioned above, “House”, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Chicago Fire”. It is certain that all these involvements have helped Kathleen Quinlan to significantly boost the total size of her net worth.
When it comes to her personal life, it has been publically acknowledged that Kathleen Quinlan has been married since 1994, to a fellow actor Bruce Abbott, with whom she has a son.
