Maria Doyle Kennedy was born on 25 September 1964, in Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland, and is best known as an actress who played Siobhan Sadler in ‘‘Orphan Black’’, and previously played Queen Catherine of Aragon in ‘‘Tudors’’.
So just how rich is Maria Doyle Kennedy as of early 2018? According to authoritative sources, this actress has net worth of $1 million with her wealth being accumulated from her over three decades career in entertainment. In addition to that, she is a singer and songwriter.
Maria moved several times with her family, as the result of her father’s job as a broker; the family eventually settled in Bray, County Wicklow. She expressed an interest in singing at an early age, and began singing at her parents’ parties when she was 13, being influenced by Billie Holiday, Radiohead and Low. During her time in college, she joined the band named Hothouse Flowers and recorded ‘‘Love Don’t Work This Way’’ with them. However, she left the band only to join The Black Velvet Band, in which she sang with her future husband, Kieran. They made an album entitled ‘‘When Justice Came’’ in 1989 and followed by releasing “King of Myself” three years after that. Maria then featured in a compilation album, ‘‘The Lady Sings The Blues’’, with Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox and Billie Holliday, which gained her a reputation and recognition in Europe, Japan and the US, which allowed her to go on a tour. After that, she focused more on her solo career, and in 2001 began releasing music with Mermaid Records, her own record label. Her debut solo album, ‘‘Charm’’ was released in the same year and featured singles such as ‘‘Babies’’ and ‘‘Stars Above’’, adding steadily to her net worth.
However, Maria is also known as an actress; she made her acting debut in ‘‘The Commitments’’ in 2001, portraying one of the main characters, Natalia Murphy, which achieved vast success, earning BAFTA awards in numerous categories, a Felix award given by 20/20, and a Brit Award. Most importantly, the movie was nominated for the prestigious Oscar award. In 1997, Maria played Sarah Kelly in ‘‘The MatchMaker’’, acting alongside Janeane Garofalo and David O’Hara, followed by the role of Frances in ‘‘The General’’, a critically praised biography crime film, which earned several awards including the BSFC, and Cannes Film Festival Awards.
Throughout the early and mid-2000s, Kennedy had a lot on her plate, acting in both movies and on television. Most importantly, in 2007 she landed the role of Queen Catherine of Aragon in ‘‘Tudors’’, a three times Golden Globe nominee, working on 18 episodes throughout the course of the next three years. In 2010, she played Sonya in several episodes of ‘‘Dexter’’, and in 2012, starred in ‘‘After the Triumph of Your Birth’’ with both of these projects receiving a positive response. In 2013, Maria began playing Siobhan Sadler, one of the main characters in ‘‘Orphan Black’’, a Golden Globe nominated drama sci-fi series, then in 2016 she was cast to play Peggy Nottingham in ‘‘The Conjuring 2’’, a horror movie that achieved vast success, grossing over $320 million at the box office. As of the most recent past, Maria has been playing George in ‘‘Striking Out’’. Overall, she’s had more than 40 acting projects so far.
When it comes to her private life, Maria has been married to Kieran Kennedy since 1988, who was her band mate at the time, and the couple has four sons. She shares a fair amount of information through her Twitter account, on which she has 41,000 followers.

Maria Doyle Kennedy Quotes
- Things are going further away from that certainly. I think its more like a confidence gene that’s more difficult if you’re a girl. Its like if you’re doing something really simple like a sound-check, and you’re having problems, if you’re not happy with your sound you cross the line much more quickly than a guy would into being awkward as opposed to being an artist or a perfectionist. Women are often expected to be more amiable or more pleasing or more submissive than men generally. I think one theme in a lot of the songs is that they’re about self: Happiness by Lisa Germano, Joyful Girl by Ani DiFranco, she’s really explaining why she does it or what music does for her, a statement of self-strength or independence. But you can do it yourself. You can really make your own music.
