Kelly Lynch: How She Met and Married Her Soul Mate Mitch Glazer
The writer, producer, and actor Mitchell “Mitch” Aram Glazer was born in Key Biscane, Florida. His father Leonard’s job is unknown; his mother, Zelda, worked as an English teacher. Many sources confirm that Mitch, who is Jewish, comes from a creatively gifted family, with famous relatives such as the producer Sidney Glazier and musician Tom Glazer.
Upon matriculating from Miami Beach High School in 1970, Mitch studied at Clark University and later transferred to NYU. Years before becoming a screenwriter, Mitch wrote for Crawdaddy! and Rolling Stone magazine, where he met and befriended other creatives such as John Belushi and his long-time writing partner Michael O’Donoghue, with whom he collaborated on various projects such as the holiday comedy “Scrooged”.
In 1982, Mitch married his first wife, the actress and former fashion model Wendie Malick, but after seven years, the couple unceremoniously finalized their divorce. Wendie, who has been active in the entertainment industry for decades, was born in 1950 in Buffalo, New York, to a salesman father and model mother. The actress has French, German, English, and Egyptian roots; she matriculated from Williamsville South High School in 1968 and went on to study at Manhattan’s prestigious William Esper Studio for the performing arts.
In 1972, Wendie graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University and signed to the Wilhemina modeling agency. Her modelling career was cut short when she began working for the Republican Congressman Jack Kemp; just as quickly, she switched careers and began working as an actress. During her marriage to Mitch, Wendie appeared in “A Little Sex”, “Paper Dolls”, “Scrooged”, and a number of other films and series.
Six years after divorcing Mitch, Wendie remarried to a man named Richard Erickson, with whom she currently lives in Topanga, California. As Wendie and Mitch have never spoken about their divorce or disclosed the reason behind it, we can assume their split was an amiable one.
As we mentioned, Mitch and Kelly have a pretty impressive property portfolio as the owners of two modern architectural homes, one in Hollywood Hills and the other in Lone Pine. In 2007, they were also named one of Vanity Fair’s best-dressed couples. Glitch has many famous friends, amongst them the actors Mickey Rourke and Bill Murray; it appears that he met Mickey when both were studying at Miami Beach High School.
With a slew of writing and producing credits to his name, it may not come as a surprise that Mitch is reportedly worth $20 million, although the bulk of his net worth comes from the properties he shares with Kelly, whose wealth is similarly estimated. Mitch’s latest project was “A Very Murray Christmas”, a TV film released in 2015, meaning that he’s been taking a break from work for the past eight years and counting.
Although it’s impossible for us to know what Mitch is currently working on due to his lack of social media, Kelly does have an Instagram profile with over 16,000 followers. One of her most recent posts is related to the current Writers Guild of America strike, which began on 2nd May 2023. The strike has put a halt on many scripted projects and is expected to last for the foreseeable future.
