Martha Plimpton is a CARRADINE??!!

I had no idea.

I just learned this from Fear the Walking Dead.

Her father - who apparently is Keith Carradine - made his debut on the show, and referenced his "daughter Martha."

I was like, "No way!" Lo and behold, she's his daughter.

I've been watching her since "The Goonies," and had no idea of her Hollywood heritage.

She also fucked River Phoenix to death and aborted his their baby.

She did become a great comedy actress though.

Holy cats! How have i not known this all for all these years?

They seem to also have a close connection with Garrett Dillahunt.

So Keith Carradine and Garrett Dillahunt were both on "Deadwood."

Then Garrett Dillahunt was responsible for Carradine's death on "Deadwood."

Then Garrett Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton played husband and wife on "Raising Hope."

Then Garrett Dillahunt moved to "Fear the Walking Dead" as the character John Dorie.

Then Garrett Dillahunt died on the show, followed by Keith Carradine making his debut on "Fear the Walking Dead" as John Dorie's father, John Dorie Sr.

WTF??

No wonder Martha got so much work.

Love Martha Plimpton. I will about watch anything she is in

She was really good in Raising Hope, R6.

Martha has always chosen quirky acting projects, throughout her career.

She’s one of the good nepotism stars.

She's the only person who can actually act on the new HBO show Generation.

Why doesn’t she carry his last name? That’s not her stage name to avoid accusations of nepotism. Is she a bastard?

Carradine is a much sexier name than Plimpton. But then, having Martha as a first name cancels out the sexiness anyway.

I think her parents were never actually together. I’m the same age as her and I would see her around the UWS shopping with her mother and hanging out with a friends. She comes across as very normal and down to earth.. she once came into a store I was working in and asked where the plaid shirts were . This was during the grunge era .

Her parents met when they were in HAIR on Broadway!

It's the dawning of the Age of Aquarius!

Her mother sang this song in the show.

Shelley Plimpton and Keith Carradine had an affair when they were both in "Hair" on Broadway. Per Wiki: "Carradine met actress Shelley Plimpton in the Broadway musical Hair. She was married to actor Steve Curry, although they were separated; she and Carradine became romantically involved. After Carradine left the show and was in California he learned that Shelley was pregnant and had reunited with Curry. He met his daughter, Martha Plimpton, when she was four years old, after Shelley and Steve Curry had divorced. He said of Shelley, "She did a hell of a job raising Martha. I was not there. I was a very young man, absolutely terrified. She just took that in, and then she welcomed me into Martha's life when I was ready."

Martha is really sharp funny actress and quite talented - I have seen her often on the stage in NYC.

You are SO late, OP. Her dad Keith is the hottest of the brothers with the last name of Carradine. However, THE hottest of them all is half-brother Michael Bowen, who has the same mother has Keith and Robert Carradine but a different father. He's probably best known for playing the asshole in a lot of '80s movies, including Valley Girl and Private Resort.

I loved Martha in Mosquito Coast. In fact, the cast was perfect. I have no interest in watching the remake.

Sound like Martha was trying to keep thing under wraps.

It's not like her father was Woody Allen.

I should probably post this in the “Celebs you have seen in normal places (shopping etc)”…… Saw her twice at the old Balducci’s on Sixth Ave and 9th street decades ago. Prettier in person.

R1 belongs on the cunty cunt thread, but unfortunately he's a really bad actor.

R20 Mosquito Coast? Do you mean Running on Empty? I don’t recall her in MC.

R25 She was the reverend's daughter in Mosquito Coast. She and River flirted when he and his parents (Ford and Mirren) visited. Martha was quirky and very forward.

She was in both, r25, as was River Phoenix (whom needless to say she did not fuck to death).

I love her. Especially in 200 Cigarettes. She’s me having a nervous breakdown before every party.

I loved her on The Good Wife.

Sha was such a ballsy bitch.

The SJWs came for her and she survived.

R28 Me, too! I think of her whenever I throw a party...and drink too much before the guests arrive.

She’s fabulous, and belongs in the pantheon of DL “untouchables” like Jean Smart and Jan Hooks.

A more pertinent question - Is Martha Plimpton a LESBIAN?
