Biographie

Wright was married to writer Niven Busch from 1942 to 1952. They had two children: a son, Niven Terence Busch born December 2, 1944, and daughter, Mary Kelly Busch born September 12, 1947. She married playwright Robert Anderson in 1959. They were divorced in 1978, but maintained a close relationship until the end of her life.

She has two grandchildren, one of whom, Jonah Smith, helped produce Darren Aronofsky's films Pi (1998) and Requiem for a Dream (2000). In 1998, Smith accompanied his grandmother to Yankee Stadium when she was invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch. It was her first visit to the stadium. Her appearance in Pride of the Yankees had sparked an interest in baseball and led her to become a Yankees fan. After Wright died in 2005, in honor of her heartfelt performance in that film, when the roll call of former Yankees who had passed on was announced at Old Timer's Day on July 5, 2005, her name was read out among all the ballplayers and other members of the Yankees family.
