Besides being one of the most important figures in contemporary politics, Mary Louise Piccard is also a philanthropist and a supporter of many charitable causes. In fact, she is the founder and chair of the Mary Louise Piccard Foundation, a nonprofit that works to promote peace, education, and social justice.
Early life
Despite being born and raised in the United States, Mary Louise Picard’s early life has been kept under the radar. Although her current age is estimated to be in the 60s, she has managed to make a comeback in the theatrical arena as an actress.
She is probably best known for her role in the 1989 action drama film Caged in Paradiso. She has also appeared in Red (2010, starring Leonardo DiCaprio) and the Spiderwick Chronicles (2008). Her most recent Broadway appearance was in the Broadway production of The Crucible in 2019.
In the mid-1990s, she was married to Stephen K. Bannon, a former political adviser to the White House. However, the two separated in 1997. During this time, Bannon was accused of domestic violence and intimidation. Eventually, these allegations were dismissed.
Marriage to Steve Bannon
Despite the fact that Mary Louise Piccard’s marriage to Steve Bannon was short-lived, she still has two children. She has kept a low profile since the breakup of their relationship in 1997. Although she has not revealed her parents’ names, it is believed that she is the daughter of an investment banker.
After their divorce, Piccard filed for a restraining order against Bannon. According to her papers, Bannon physically attacked her in 1996. During the incident, Bannon grabbed Piccard’s neck and threw her phone across the room. The case was dropped because there were no witnesses present. However, there are red marks on Piccard’s body that supported her story.
Bannon’s spokesperson claims that he never made any anti-Semitic remarks. He also claims that he has an amicable relationship with his ex-wife.
Children
Despite her success in the entertainment industry, Mary Louise Picard has stayed low-profile. Her social media presence is minimal, and her net worth is unknown.
She is the mother of two children, Grace and Emily Picard. She has appeared in several television and film productions, including the 1989 action drama movie Caged in Paradiso. She was the recipient of the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for her performance in the play The Sound Inside. She also has a cousin named Bertrand, who became the first person to circumnavigate the world in a hot air balloon. However, Mary hasn’t spoken to Bertrand since her world record flight.
While no one can definitively say whether or not she is a college or university graduate, Mary is thought to be at least 60 years old. She is said to be in the same stratosphere as her famous cousin, who is thought to have reached 35,797 feet in a bathyscaph.
Anti-Semitism
During her divorce proceedings, Steve Bannon’s ex-wife, Mary Louise Piccard, claimed that he made anti-Semitic remarks. She claimed that Bannon resented the fact that there were too many Jewish students at the Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles. It was alleged that he questioned why there were Hanukkah books in the library.
According to the court documents, Ms Piccard wrote that her husband objected to the number of Jews at the school and did not want his daughters to go to school with them. The couple separated in 1997. In a 2007 court statement, Ms Piccard cited Bannon’s objections to the Archer School for Girls as one of the reasons why they were filing for divorce.
Ms Piccard also said that her husband was abusive. She accused Mr Bannon of “intimidating” her. In addition, she claimed that he had a history of domestic violence. In 2007, Ms Piccard testified in a domestic battery case against Mr Bannon.
Net worth
Despite having an interesting albeit ambiguous Wikipedia page, it is difficult to get an official estimate of Mary Louise Piccard’s net worth. Although, multiple reports suggest that she is in the middle 60s by the year 2020, details about her career, education, and wealth are not readily available.
While there aren’t any authoritative bios on the Internet, it is believed that she is a former investment banker. There is also no information about her parents.
The best guess of the amount of money she has made in her professional life is approximately $20 million. This number may be inaccurate because she is not a public figure. However, her career has paid off, as she was a two time winner of the Tony Award for best actor in a play. She recently returned to the theater for another run with the hit play, The Sound Inside.
