Abigail Hopkins is the daughter of Anthony Hopkins, a famous movie actor who has become famous around the world thanks to the role played by Hannibal Lector.
Biography
On August 20, 1968 in London, in the UK, a daughter Abigail Hopkins was born into the family of actors, a photo of which can be seen above. When the girl was a little over a year old, her father left the family, leaving the child with her mother. Further education of the girl was carried out by her mother, film actress Petronella Barker. Anthony did not take part in the education and life of Abigail, moreover, he completely stopped any communication with his former family.
The daughter was very worried about separation from her father, during this period every day Anthony was shown in the news with new passions. Hopkins Sr., forgetting about parental duty, arranged his personal life, not suspecting the child's worries. This later led Abigail to change his father's illustrious surname to Harrison.
For many years, the daughter and father did not communicate, and only in the 90s they reunited. The already well-known actor Hopkins helped his daughter become an actress, he arranged her in Hollywood and contributed to Abigail's first debut in the movie.
Like many other movie stars, becoming a celebrity, Abigail became addicted to drugs, because of which the girl was expelled from the university. The addiction was long. But over time, Hopkins daughter Abigail successfully managed to overcome her drug addiction and return to normal life. Moreover, she made a career in film and theater, as well as in music.
The last film, in which the daughter of the famous actor Abigail appeared, was released in 2015, after the woman stopped her career in cinema, began working in the theater. Along with filming in the movie, Abigail was writing and performing her own songs. So, in 2003, the world saw her debut album Smile Road, followed by others: in 2005, Blue Satin Alley; in 2007 - The Liqhthouse Keeper; in 2008 (last released album) - The Memoirs of An Outlaw.
Personal life
As for the personal life of the actress, little is known about her. Recently, an interview with Anthony Hopkins was heard in the press, in which he said that he did not know how his only daughter lives, whether she has children - he also does not know, but all because their communication was interrupted again for as long as 20 years. He is in no hurry to establish relations this time, and this suits him completely.
Also, the famous actor said that people disperse. Families split, everyone lives their own lives. Society makes a choice. He does not care. When he was told that this sounds indifferent, he answered that, for example, yes, in cold blood. Because life is like that.
But, probably, this affects the American mentality. In our country, an actor would be condemned for such an answer. There they perceive it as his personal choice and his mistakes.
As for Abigail herself, she is not a public person, she does not talk about her personal life and family. The only thing a woman can talk about is creativity, because she is a creative person, worked in various fields, starting with acting, playing in the theater, and in recent years she has mastered the profession of a singer. The musical genre in which Abigail works is alternative rock.
