Timothy Hutton Net Worth $16 Million
To begin with, Timothy is the son of the actor Jim Hutton and teacher Maryline Adams Poole; his parents divorced when he was only three years old. He was educated at Fairfax High School, and Berkeley High School after he moved in with his father.
Timothy had debuted as an actor being just five years old, with a small role in the film “Never Too late” (1965), starring his father, but after school he played several small roles in television films before getting into cinema in 1980, playing a sixteen-year old Conrad Jarrett in the film “Ordinary People” directed by Robert Redford, which role won him the Oscar as the Best Supporting Actor. In 1981, he became the protagonist of “Taps” in the role of Major Cadet Brian Moreland, directed by Harold Becker, co-starring Tom Cruise and Sean Penn. After a series of more or less well chosen films such as “The Ice Man” (1984), “Turk 182” (1985), “The Falcon and the Snowman” (1985), and “Everybody’s All-American” (1988), Hutton received much acclaim for his performance in “The Dark Half” (1993) by George A. Romero, based on the novel by Stephen King. All added to his net worth.
After playing dramatic or linked to the unreal world roles for years, Timothy starred in several comedies such as “French Kiss” (1995) and “Beautiful Girls” (1996). In 1998, he debuted as a director with the drama “A Fall in the Clouds” with the main stars of the film Kevin Bacon and Evan Rachel Wood. In 2004, Hutton starred in “Secret Window”, another adaptation of a Stephen King story, and later, he worked in the comedy “Last Holiday” (2006), in the movie by Robert De Niro “The Good Shepherd” (2006), “The Last Mimzy” (2007) and other films. Between 2006 and 2007, Timothy created the character of Conrad Cain in the television series “Kidnapped”, then in 2008 returned to the cinema with the film “The Alphabet Killer”. His net worth was rising steadily.
The actor received the nomination for the Saturn Award, and won a Prism Award for the role of Nathan Ford in the TV series “Leverage” (2008–2012). In 2009, he starred in a number of films including “Broken Hill”, “The Killing Room”, “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men”, “Multiple Sarcasms” and “Serious Moonlight”. Again, the nomination of a Primetime Emmy he received for the main role he landed in the series “American Crime” (2015–2016). Currently, Timothy is working on the set of the upcoming film “The Long Home” (2017).
Finally, in the personal life of the actor, Hutton has been married twice, firstly to actress Debra Winger (1986-90); they have a son. From 2000 to 2008, he was married to illustrator Aurore Giscard d’Estaing, a niece of former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, and they have a son too.

Quote

[on George C. Scott] It was amazing just to stand by him and see him at work on Taps (1981)--a real experience to see such discipline and concentration.
2
[Upon receiving his Academy Award for Ordinary People (1980)] This is for my dad. I wish he were here to see it.

[9/1/98, in interview in "Daily News", about following his own gut in career choices] I was 18, did a couple of things on TV, then I did Ordinary People (1980) and when you are fortunate enough to be in a movie like that, working with Robert Redford as the director and the movie is as well received as it was, it would be ludicrous to have a master plan for a career. So next, I was in Wayne, PA, doing Taps (1981) and then I was back in New York working with Sidney Lumet doing an ensemble movie called Daniel (1983). And I turned down a starring role in Risky Business (1983), even though all my agents and manager said I was crazy. But I looked at it and asked myself, "What was the experience going to be like? What will I learn?" And looking back at myself at 23, being able to work with Sidney Lumet and E.L. Doctorow, I have absolutely no regrets. I learned stuff that will stay with me forever.

Fact

In 1983, he signed to shoot a film titled "Road Show" with Jack Nicholson, Mary Steenburgen, and Debra Winger. The studio canceled plans, and Hutton sued claiming fraud and breach of contract. He won the jury trial in 1989 which awarded him $2.25 million in compensatory damages and $7.5 million in punitive damages. He had also gained a wife and son, when he married Winger with whom he had his first son Noah Hutton, but the marriage later dissolved. The title "Road Show" was later changed to Medicine Man (1992) and starred Sean Connery.

His first wife actress Debra Winger had first seen him on TV when he accepted the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Ordinary People (1980) and fell in love with him. She met him in person two years later in 1983 for a film that they were supposed to be cast in called "Road Show" but it was revamped and made with different actors a decade later under a new title Medicine Man (1992). Hutton later said they talked for six hours about everything at that first meeting, and Winger said there was so much electricity between them that they got scared and ran in opposite directions. They kept running into each other once every six months, and Hutton later described these encounters "like turning magnets around." They finally stuck together when Winger emceed Farm Aid on New Year's Eve in 1986 and Hutton was one of the guests. Almost immediately, they started living together and married just three months later. Despair followed the happy occasion. Winger's orthodox Jewish grandmother stopped talking to her, because Hutton wasn't Jewish. Worse, she miscarried after she became pregnant on her wedding night. She got pregnant again and gave birth to their son Noah Hutton in 1987, but just a year later, they separated and divorced two years later. During their short marriage, they appeared together in two films (Made in Heaven (1987) and Betrayed (1988)) that flopped at the box office, as well as a "Life" magazine cover in 1987. Shortly after their divorce, he admitted that he will always love her but they were leading separate lives. A decade after their divorce, Winger (married to her second husband Arliss Howard) said that there was "no bad blood" between them.
In Taps (1981), Leverage (2008), Turk 182! (1985), and The Falcon and the Snowman (1985) he played a character who was fighting the system. In two of these (Taps and Leverage) he was formerly a part of the system that screwed him, so he turned on it.
