English actress Natascha McElhone is best known for her roles in The Truman Show, Ronin, and Solaris. She recently portrayed Penelope Knatchbull in season 5 of The Crown.
McElhone established herself as a talented leading actress after graduating from drama school in 1993 to play the lead in Merchant Ivory’s Surviving Picasso opposite Anthony Hopkins.
Later, she was quickly followed by Peter Weir’s The Truman Show and Alan J. Pakula’s The Devil’s Own. The actress appeared in two episodes of Dennis Potter’s television miniseries Karaoke.
Similarly, the London-based actress co-starred with David Duchovny in the Golden Globe-winning Showtime series Californication in 2007.
McElhone had a booming professional career and a happy marriage with Martin Kelly. However, in 2008, she suffered the tragic loss of her husband while pregnant with their third child.
What Happened To Natascha McElhone’s Career After Her Husband Died?
McElhone opened up about her grief a year after Kelly’s death while raising the couple’s sons. She told The Daily Mail at the time: “I didn’t have a choice. I now have twice the responsibility I had before, and I have to work for financial reasons.”
“But it’s good to have responsibilities, whether paying the bills or feeding a baby at five in the morning. The mundanity of life becomes very important. Not coping isn’t an option,” she added.

McElhone was cast alongside Kiefer Sutherland in ABC’s political drama Designated Survivor in 2016. She left the show in Season 2, not because of a production issue or the writers’ decision to remove her character, but because she was offered a role on another show, Hulu’s The First.
