Nancy Travis Net Worth | Celebrity Net Worth
What is Nancy Travis' net worth?
Nancy Travis is an American actress who has a net worth of $20 million. Though, it should be noted that a portion of Nancy's net worth is attributable to her husband since 1994, entrepreneur/producer Robert N. Fried. As we detail later in this article, Robert has produced a number of successful films over the course of his career, but – more importantly – he is the founder of the television network that eventually transformed into the Hallmark Movies Now streaming network. Nancy and Robert met in the early 1990s when she starred in the Mike Myers movie "So I Married an Ax Murderer," which he produced. Nancy has enjoyed a successful film and television career since the early 1980s.
Early Life
Nancy Ann Travis was born in New York, New York, on September 21, 196. Her father was a salesman and her mother was a social worker. The family lived in Framingham, Massachusetts and Baltimore, Maryland.
Films
Soon after graduating from high school, Nancy began acting professionally, appearing in theater productions in Boston, and then New York. She made her Broadway debut in "I'm Not Rapaport". In the mid-80s, she began appearing in both film and television projects, and has continued to work steadily since.
Nancy's film debut was a brief role as Sylvia, the mother who abandoned her baby to three men, in the surprise hit 1987 comedy "Three Men and a Baby." Thanks to the chemistry and humor of the film's three primary stars – Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg and Ted Danson– "Three Men and a Baby" went on to earn over $300 million at the box office and on home video, off a budget of just $11 million. In 1990 Nancy and the three men returned to the franchise for "Three Men and a Little Lady," which was less successful but still profitable.
Other significant Nancy Travis films include "Married to the Mob," "Eight Men Out", "Chaplin," "So I Married an Ax Murderer," "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," and "Safe Harbor."
