Who is Mimi Rogers?

An actress, Mimi Rogers is perhaps still known best for her role as Sharon in the 1991 religious drama “The Rapture”, but besides her versatile acting, she is also known as the second wife of the world-famous American actor Tom Cruise. Mimi was the one who introduced him to Scientology, and he is today one of the most devoted members of this organization.

If you ever wondered about Mimi’s life and work, and where is she now, let us relate the untold truth about this celebrity ex-wife.

Early life, family, and education

Born Miriam Spickler under the zodiac sign of Aquarius on 27 January 1956, in Coral Gables, Florida USA, she holds American nationality, and comes from a family of Jewish descent.

She was raised in her hometown by her parents, Kathy Talent a former dancer, and Philip C. Spickler a civil engineer. Her mother was Episcopalian, and her father was Jewish; he became involved with Scientology before Mimi was born, thus the organization was part of her upbringing.

Mimi lived with her family in Virginia, Arizona, Michigan and England, before they settled in Los Angeles, California. She matriculated from high school in 1970 aged 14, and later was a part-time social worker, and also served in Palo Alto, California hospital for incapacitated patients, before she launched her acting career.

Acting career

Mimi studied acting with Milton Katselas for nine months, before she made her acting debut portraying Sandra Pauley in the series “Hill Street Blues” in 1981. In the following year, she made appearances in the series “Quincy M. E.” and “Magnum, P. I.”, and in the TV movies “Divorce Wars: A Love Story” and “Hear No Evil”.

Mimi made her big-screen debut in 1983, as Liz in “Blue Skies Again” opposite Harry Hamlin and Kenneth McMillan, and followed with her role as Ellen Slade in the series “The Rousters” (1983-1984).

In the following year, Mimi was seen as Blair Fenton-Harper in the series “Paper Dolls”, followed by roles in the movies “Embassy” (1985), “Gung Ho” (1986), and “Street Smart” (1987).

Mimi now has over 100 acting credits to her name, so we will mention some of her most notable, such as her portrayal of Claire Gregory in the 1987 romantic crime drama “Someone to Watch Over Me” in which she starred alongside Tom Berenger and Lorraine Bracco.

Two years later, she was seen as Hadley Elgin in “The Mighty Quinn” and “Hider in the House”, followed by her roles in “The Palermo Connection” and “Desperate Hours” in 1990. In the following year, Mimi appeared in “The Doors” and “Wedlock”, before she was cast to play Sharon in “The Rupture”; for this role, Mimi garnered the greatest acclaim of her career, and was nominated for the Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead, while the famous film critic Robin Wood declared – ‘ she gave one of the greatest performances in the history of the Hollywood cinema’.

Mimi followed with roles in numerous movies, including “Dark Horse” (1992), “Bulletproof Heart” (1994), “Full Body Massage” (1995), and “Trees Lounge” (1996), among many others. One of her notable roles is certainly her portrayal of Ariel Powers in the 1997 movie “Weapons of Mass Distraction” which brought her the Golden Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Miniseries or a Motion Picture Made for Television.

In 1999, she was seen in “The Devil’s Arithmetic”, a fantasy war drama, which won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Special.

Speaking of her television work, she was Agent Diana Fowley in “The X-Files” (1998-1999), and Dierdre Swayze in “It’s Like, You Know…” (1999-2000).

The early 2000s saw Mimi in the movies “Ginger Snaps” (2000), which brought her the Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Supporting Actress, and she then had support roles in “Dumb and Dumber: When Harry Met Lloyd” (2003), and “Penny Dreadful” (2006).

In the next decade, Mimi was seen in the movies “Lucky” (2011), “The Surface” (2014), “This Isn’t Funny” (2015), and “What Still Remains” (2018), and had a recurring role in the popular series “Two and a Half Men” (2011-2014).

From 2014 until 2021, Mimi portrayed Honey Chandler in the series “Bosch”, and in 2022 reprised her role in “Bosch: Legacy”. Her fans will be happy to hear that she will return to TV screens as Harriet Toppington in the movie “Scruples”, which should be premiered by the end of 2022.

Love life and marriage to Tom Cruise

Before she married Tom, Mimi was married to James Rogers, and assumed his surname; their marriage lasted from 1976 until 1980. After they divorced, Mimi dated actor Emilio Estevez until 1982, and was then in a relationship with another famous actor, Tom Selleck – the two dated for a year.

It isn’t clear when Mimi met her future husband, Tom Cruise, and the two have varying accounts about how they met. According to Tom, they met at a dinner party while he was developing one of his big hits “Top Gun”, while Mimi claims that they were set up by mutual friends.

However, the two exchanged their wedding vows on 9 May 1987, the wedding ceremony held in New York City. They decided to have a private ceremony, and the only people present were Tom’s mother, and his best man, Emilio Estevez.

Their love story lasted until 1990 when they divorced – speculations about the reason for their divorce were numerous. Some rumors were saying that Mimi was jealous of Tom’s stardom, and that she was tired of being referred to as ‘Tom Cruise’s wife’. The two haven’t commented on the speculations, their joint statement saying: ‘While there have been positive aspects to our marriage, there were some issues which could not be resolved even after working on them for a period of time.’

In 1993, when Mimi posed nude for the cover of Playboy magazine, in her interview, she said that the real story behind their divorce was Tom’s wish to become a monk, however, she later retracted that comment, claiming that she’d been misinterpreted.

Mimi’s life after divorce

There have been various rumors concerning Mimi’s love life after she divorced Tom Cruise, but what we know is that she was dating Dodi Fayed, an Egyptian film producer, however, this relationship was short-lived.

On the set of the movie “Fourth Story” in 1990, Mimi met her future third husband, Chris Ciaffa, a producer, who is perhaps known best for his work on “Doctor Mordrid”, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”, and “Unstoppable”.

The two became parents in 1994 when Mimi gave birth to their daughter, Lucy, then their son Charlie was born in 2001. Mimi and Chris exchanged their wedding vows on 20 March 2003, at the Beverly Hills, California court house.

As of September 2022, the two are still together, and Mimi is no longer practicing Scientology.

Lindsay Greenbush ,Wiki

One of the favorite television shows in the ‘70s and ‘80s was the family drama “Little House on the Prairie”, starring Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert and Karen Grassle. The adventures and life of the Ingalls family would be incomplete without Carrie Ingalls, a little girl with a wild imagination.

Lindsay Greenbush played the role of Carrie, a combined (alternating) role that her twin sister, Sidney played with her. From 1974 through 1982, Lindsay and her sister were seen in 182 episodes of the series, which had 42 award nominations, and won 17, including four Primetime Emmys. Lindsay was nominated for the Photoplay Award for Favorite Child Star in 1977.

Early life, family, and education

Born Rachel Lindsay Rene Bush (three minutes before her twin sister) on 25 May 1970, Lindsay is today aged 52. She is a native of Los Angeles, California USA, thus holds American nationality, and comes from a family of Caucasian descent.

Her mother, Carole Kay Bush, is only known as the mother of the famous actresses, and the wife of the exceptional character actor Billy Green Bush, who is probably still known best for his role as Trooper Donner in the 1986 movie “The Hitcher”.

Besides her twin sister, Lindsay has an older brother, Clay, also an actor, whose first movie appearance was in the 1970 movie “Five Easy Pieces” in which his father starred opposite Jack Nicholson. Clay was a baby which Nicholson held him in his arms.

Speaking of Lindsay’s educational background, she attended Santa Monica High School, and upon matriculating in 1988, enrolled at California State Lutheran University, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Science (Accountancy) in 1992.

Acting career

Lindsay made her acting debut portraying Jill Hayden in the 1973 movie “Sunshine”, a biographical drama about a woman who after she discovers that she’s dying of cancer began recording tapes, to leave something precious for her young daughter. The stars of the movie were Meg Foster, Cristina Raines and Cliff de Young, and although it had no nominations, this drama was well-rated by the audience.

As mentioned, from 1974 through 1982, Lindsey starred as Carrie Ingalls in “Little House on the Prairie”. This long-running drama was loosely based on the series of books “Little House” by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and follows the story of her simple farm upbringing in Plum Creek.

An interesting fact about Lindsey’s and her sister’s role is that in the episode “The Godsister” both girls were featured together playing different characters. Another character was Alyssa, an imaginary sister, whom Carrie believed was real. Her father explained to her that Alyssa was her imagination, and that she made her up out of loneliness.

Concurrently, Lindsay reprised her role as Carrie Ingalls in the 1979 movie “Little House Years”, which was a Thanksgiving clip show about struggling during a family gathering.

On 10 May 1982, Lindsay made her final appearance in the show, and the reason for the absence of her character was explained by the family moving to Iowa. The series was canceled a few months later.

The twin sisters, Lindsey and Sidney were seen in numerous TV commercials for popular brands such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Doublemint gum, and Mattel Toys.

In 1983, Lindsay made an appearance in an episode of the series “Matt Houston”, a mystery crime-drama, and she portrayed a girl named Butterfly, who was an abuse victim.

This was Lindsey’s last role before she decided to quit acting and continue her high school studies at a public school. She said that it was hard to keep up with the material at school since they were filming every day. Michael Landon, who was also a director of the series, was quite demanding, and Lindsay said that the shooting was rarely fun. Both her sister and she were afraid to make a mistake during the scene.

HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY to LINDSAY and SIDNEY GREENBUSH!!

What happened to her? Where is Lindsay now?

After she graduated from college, Lindsay worked at a ski resort, in Taos, New Mexico, from 1993 through 1995, and there met a man with whom she has a daughter, Katlynn Danae – to date, the name of this man hasn’t been revealed.

According to her Internet Movie Database (IMDb) profile, Lindsay married Frank Dornan in 2001, whom she met in 1999 after returning to California from New Mexico. They met through a mutual friend, hit it off, and began dating. Although Frank accepted Katlynn as his own daughter, this marriage didn’t last. It is unclear when the two divorced, however, in one of her rare interviews, Lindsay said that she’s raising her daughter as a single mother, which many realized as her way of saying that she’s divorced.

Lindsay established her Twitter account on December 2013, and her fans were happy that they could finally keep track of her life and work. She shared that she’s working as a horse trainer in Simi Valley, California and that she’s remarried.

Second marriage

Back in 1977, a young boy named Daniel ‘Danny’ Sanchez came on the set of the series “Little House on the Prairie” and while Lindsay was resting, he approached her. They talked, and she found out that he lived nearby, but never saw him again, although she wanted.

Daniel and Lindsay met again thirty years later, and it seems that this was fate. The two fell in love, began dating, and married on 5 July 2014, with the wedding ceremony held under the same oak tree where they first met.

As of December 2022, the two are still together, and have a son whose name hasn’t been disclosed.

There are some photos on her Twitter featuring the two of them riding motorcycles, and it seems that they both enjoy this sport. Lindsey once tweeted that her life changed when Daniel re-entered her life. It was on their second wedding anniversary, and among other heart-touching words, Lindsey said that Daniel enriches her soul.

Net worth

According to sources, Lindsay’s salary while she was acting in “Little House on the Prairie” was $23 in residuals, during reruns. Since she withdrew from public life for a long period, there is no info about her income. The average horse trainer in the United States has a salary of around $35,000, but her net worth has been estimated at over $500,000, as of late 2022.
