Finn Carter
- Actress
Finn Carter was born on March 9, 1960 in the Mississippi Delta. Her
mother, Margaret W. Carter, and her father, Hodding Carter III (best
known for his position as the spokesperson for the State Department in
President Carter's administration), were attending a play at the
Greenville Little Theatre when her mother went into labor. The
newspaper announcement of her birth foresaw stage-lights for the second
child of Hodding and Peggy. Finn attended Walnut Hill School of
Performing Arts for high school and then went on to Skidmore College
followed by Tulane University. In 1983, Finn moved to New York City and
was soon after offered a three-year contract on the soap opera,
As the World Turns (1956).
She kept her first love alive, the theatre, by becoming a member of
the, now defunct, Circle Repertory Company. Finn met her first husband,
Steven Weber, on the set of
As the World Turns (1956).
When Steven was cast on the sit-com
Wings (1990) in 1990, the couple split
their time between N.Y.C. and L.A. until their divorce. Finn remarried
in 1997 and has two beautiful girls (born in 1997 and 2000) and one
step-daughter as the result of that union. Finn also has two sisters
who both live in Mississippi and one brother who lives in Maine.
