Matthew Broderick: Personal life
He was born in New York City, the son of James and Patricia. Broderick attended the Walden School, a private school in Manhattan with a strong drama program.
Broderick met
Jennifer Grey on the set of Ferris Bueller's Day Off; in August 1987, she was with him in Northern Ireland as he drove on a rain-slicked road on the outskirts of Enniskillen. Broderick, possibly on the wrong side of the road, drove his car head-on into another car carrying the 63-year-old Margaret Doherty and her 30-year-old daughter Anna Gallagher: both were killed. Broderick had to be cut out of the car; he was unconscious and suffered facial lacerations and a broken thigh. Grey escaped with minor injuries. Broderick had no memory of the event and Grey was distracted at the moment of the accident and saw nothing. The lack of witnesses, skid marks, or other evidence led Broderick to plead guilty
in absentia on February 15, 1988 to the lesser charge of careless driving. He was fined £100.
He met actress
Sarah Jessica Parker in 1992 and has been married to her since 1997. The couple has one child, named after Broderick's late father.
