Have you ever wondered how rich Lee Grant is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Grant’s net worth is as high as $15 million, an amount earned through her successful acting career, which started in 1950. In addition to being an actress, Grants has also worked as a director, which improved her wealth too.

Lee Grant was the only child of Abraham W. Rosenthal, a realtor and educator, and Witia, an actress and teacher. When she was only four years of age, Lee debuted at the Metropolitan Opera and later studied at the Art Students League of New York. After that, Grant continued her education at The High School of Music & Art and Juilliard School of Music and then matriculated from the George Washington High School.

Lee performed ballet at the Metropolitan Opera House in her teens, and later made it to Broadway before her first on-screen credit in an episode of the Primetime Emmy Award-nominated “Actor’s Studio” in 1950. Grant’s first feature movie was William Wyler’s Oscar Award-nominated “Detective Story” (1951), alongside Kirk Douglas and Eleanor Parker, for which she received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. However, as a result of her refusal to testify against her husband at the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings, Grant’s career suffered as many Hollywood producers blacklisted her, so she found it hard to secure notable roles. After numerous roles on television, Lee co-starred with Fredric March, Kim Novak and Glenda Farrell in Delbert Mann’s Golden Globe Award-nominated “Middle of the Night” (1959).

From 1965 to 1966, she played Stella Chernak in 70 episodes of the Golden Globe Award-nominated series “Peyton Place”, She then appeared alongside Dick Van Dyke, Debbie Reynolds, and Jason Robards in Bud Yorkin’s Oscar -nominated comedy “Divorce American Style” (1967), and continued as Mrs. Colbert in Norman Jewison’s Oscar Award-winning mystery called “In the Heat of the Night” (1967) starring Sidney Poitier. By the end of the ‘60s, Grant had played in a Golden Globe Award-nominated “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell” (1968) with Gina Lollobrigida, Shelley Winters, and Phil Silvers, and in John Sturges’ Oscar Award-winning “Marooned” (1969) starring Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, and David Janssen, so her net worth was rising steadily.

In 1970, Grant received her second Oscar Award nomination for her role as Mrs. Enders in Hal Ashby’s romantic comedy “The Landlord” with Beau Bridges. The following year, she won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in Frank Pierson’s “The Neon Ceiling”, and then teamed up with Hal Ashby again in 1975 in the comedy “Shampoo” with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie; the role of Felicia secured Lee her first and only Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Thanks to the successful characters and movies in the 70’s, Grant’s net worth significantly increased as she became a millionaire.

The next year, Lee earned another Oscar Award nomination for her role of Lili Rosen in Stuart Rosenberg’s war-drama called the “Voyage of the Damned” (1976) with Faye Dunaway and Oskar Werner, and ended the decade with parts in such films as Jerry Jameson’s Oscar Award-nominated “Airport ’77” (1977) and “Damien: Omen II” (1978), in which she played alongside William Holden.

Grant’s career took a step down in the ’80s, but she managed to get parts in several notable movies such as “Visiting Hours” (1982) and Arthur Hiller’s comedy “Teachers” (1984) starring Nick Nolte, JoBeth Williams and Judd Hirsch. In 1991, she appeared alongside Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep and Rip Torn in “Defending Your Life”, and then played Dora Cohn in Frank Pierson’s Golden Globe Award-nominated TV movie “Citizen Cohn” (1992) with John Wood in the lead. Lee portrayed Louise Bonner in both TV and feature movie versions of David Lynch’s Oscar Award-nominated “Mulholland Drive”, while her latest film was “Going Shopping” (2005).

Grant also worked as a movie director and made some popular films including Golden Globe Award-nominated “Nobody’s Child” (1986) and Golden Globe Award-winning “No Place Like Home” (1989).

Regarding her personal life, Lee Grant was married to Arnold Manoff from 1951 to 1960 and has a child with him, while since 1962, she’s been married to Joseph Feury.

Lee Lee Grant Quotes

• I was married to a Marxist and I was married to a fascist, and neither one of them ever took out the garbage.
• Documentaries give you the arrogant privilege of opening someone’s door and exposing the real person. The people in my films were involved with issues so important to them that they decided (a documentary) was the only way they could reach out and tell the world what was happening to them.
• [Academy Award acceptance speech]: Thank you. I really must have wanted, otherwise: Why would I worn all wedding dress? (laughter from the audience) I think we had a fight twenty years ago (referring to her being blacklisted), but he’s changed, I know I haven’t. But I would like to thank the artistic community for sustaining me in my wins and losses and sitting on the curb, whatever it was. I don’t think there is an award for what Warren Beatty had to do to get Shampoo on, but I respect him and love him, and Robert Towne, and my director Hal Ashby who encourages an actor to fly without a net because you know that he’s there to catch you. Thank you.
• The Oscar has endured because of our yearning for excellence. Getting one is like being appointed valedictorian from the bottom of the class. The “outs”, like me, get their moment to be “in”, for as long as it lasts.
• Many of the things I accomplished in life are because I was dead set on proving somebody wrong.
