His two youngest children were born shortly before and shortly after his job at The Fabelmans, a feat his interviewer marveled at in Entertainment Weekly.

She reasoned that children ‘have to come, and they have to be held, everything. So I search continuously, because equilibrium is not a stable place. Balance means that you are always adjusting.
Michelle said: ‘So you have to figure it out because we have to stay in the workforce, even though it often seems like it’s unsustainable. My heart obviously belongs to my children; they pull him more. But I really want to be able to have both.
The Hollywood blonde noted “that it takes deep thinking and learning and the support of other women to figure out how to get through it.”
Firstborn: Michelle is pictured with her eldest daughter, Matilda, whom she had from her relationship with the late movie star Heath Ledger.
She also commented that ‘Having kids is really great to keep you from taking your work home with you, especially when you’re playing heartbreaking roles.
‘I’m not going to take something home and contaminate my children’s experience. I think ultimately I can remember that it’s not my life, it’s not my pain or my sadness. It’s something that moves through me and then out of me.
Referring to his character in Manchester By The Sea, he said: “I didn’t lose children in a fire , and there are people who go home tonight who are not going to put their children to bed. So I think it’s never been hard for me to keep perspective on what’s mine and what belongs to the women I play.’
Her man: Michelle appears in 2020 with her husband, theater director Thomas Kail, with whom she welcomed son Hart that year and another baby boy last year.
The four-time Oscar nominee stated: ‘Ultimately, this work is a joy. What is difficult is living up to your standard, your own ideal.’
Michelle further revealed that the stage of her family life she is in has an impact on the types of roles she selects.
“I love making children’s movies now that I’m a little kid again. But I loved being in things like Oz [The Great And Powerful] either [The Greatest] Showman at the time Matilda appreciated movies like that, although she would probably still appreciate those two movies because she’s such a sweetie,” Michelle said.
That’s how they were: Heath and Michelle appear together at the Gotham Awards in 2005, less than three years before her death from an accidental prescription drug overdose.
