Madigan was born Sept. 11, 1950, to Dolores Hanlon—an administrative assistant who performed in community theater on the side—and political journalist John Madigan.

She grew up in Chicago and graduated from Milwaukee's Marquette University with a degree in philosophy before studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.

As in, where do you know her from? The answer to which is, from a lot of things.

For starters—aside from the 1989 TV movie Roe v. Wade, for which she was nominated for an Emmy and won a Golden Globe for her supporting turn as Sarah Weddington, the attorney who took the landmark case to the Supreme Court, or the 1985 film Twice in a Lifetime, which earned her an Oscar nomination—she's the mom in Field of Dreams!

That's right, she played Annie, the very patient wife of Kevin Costner's Ray, who took it as gospel that, if he builds it, they will come.

Madigan has been married to four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris since 1983 and they share a 32-year-old daughter, actress Lily Harris.

Despite The Last of Us’ promising slow burn of a second season, the HBO drama received an apocalyptic exile from the Golden Globes this year.

This flashy nod would certainly make Tengen Uzui smile. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle was nominated in the Best Animated Motion Picture category, which marks the first time a Shonen Jump creation has been recognized by the ceremony.

Though Sinners nabbed seven Golden Globes nominations, including one for star Michael B. Jordan, his costar Wunmi Mosaku did not receive any nods for her role as Annie.

The Netflix hit earned not just one, or two but three nominations for the animated film.

The Pittsburg ER should’ve been revived with a few more nods. While The Pitt’s Noah Wyle fittingly received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Katherine LaNasa’s rousing role as charge nurse Dana Evans wasn’t recognized.

Even the Golden Globes voters couldn’t peel their eyes away from the tense beef in The Girlfriend. Not only did the Prime Video series collect a nod for Best Limited or Anthology Series, but its lead star Robin Wright—who last won a Globe in 2016—also received a nomination for Best Female Actor.

Though the popular film earned a total of five nominations overall, including ones for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, it was not included in the category for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy.

Jacob Elordi not only landed a nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Frankenstein, but he's also a double nominee, earning a nod for his role in the series The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

The Wicked director was once again shut out of the Best Director category, despite the film itself earning five nods this year.

The action thriller film came out on top, earning nine nominations including one for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy.

In addition to costar Wunmi, Hailee Steinfeld was also not recognized for her role as Mary in Ryan Coogler's Sinners.

Despite appearing in One Battle After Another for a short period of time, Regina Hall's role undoubtedly made all the difference in the action-comedy.

Watch the Golden Globes 2026 Sunday, Jan. 11, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
