The daughter of Norman Lear, Kate Lear is a writer, arts advocate, and proud Board Chair of Ballet Hispánico. She is also the daughter of television writer and producer Norman Lear. She shares the wit and wisdom of her father in celebration of his 100th birthday in an interview with PBS.
She shared-
“I am the daughter of an extraordinary man, and I have been a loving observer of his life for more than six decades. On July 27th, 2022, he turns 100! As the second of his six children, I marvel not only that he has lived to be 100, but that he has enjoyed the heck out of getting here, learning just as much from his challenges as from his victories. So, what are his secrets?”
“To reach 100 you need many things, and the most obvious is good luck and lots of it. But to me, Norman Lear’s longevity has just as much to do with his in-born optimism. This is a man who goes to bed each night dreaming of the cup of coffee he will have in the morning, who has lived a life in which each meal magically turns out to be better than the one before (“this is the best pasta I’ve ever had!”), and who has said, many times, that he doesn’t want to wake up the day that he doesn’t have hope.”
Kate Lears Parents- Norman Lear and Frances Lear
Kate Lear’s parents are Frances Lear and Norman Lear. Frances and Norman Lear were married for 28 years and had two daughters before divorcing in 1985. Frances used some of her $100 million settlement to start the feminist magazine Lear’s, which catered to “the woman who wasn’t born yesterday”
How did the former love birds meet and start their relationship? Norman Lear met Frances Loeb between 1955 and 1956. The Hollywood director met his ex-wife through one of his friends in the Army with whom he had served in Italy. Frances was 32 when she first met Norman and they started dating each other.
Frances had a rough childhood and faced sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather. The couple dated for almost a year and got married in 1956 and welcomed two daughters, Maggie and Kate. In 1983, the couple entered a phase where everything started going down the hill. At the age of 50, Frances was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Her Moher also got addicted to alcohol, which did a lot of damage to their marriage. Everything she endured during her childhood was still in her memory and started to take a toll on her. Kate Lear’s mother died of breast cancer at age 73. Her father Norman Lear has been married to Lyn Davis since 1987 and the two are still together for about 3 and a half decades now.
