Moira Sinise

Moira Harris Sinise graduated from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. During her college years, she met her husband Gary Sinise. They have been married since 1981 and have three children. Moira has starred in such films as One More Saturday Night, Of Mice & Men and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. She also played the evil trucker's wife in the Kurt Russell movie Breakdown. She has made guest appearances on the TV shows Karen Sisco, The Equalizer and Crime Story. At one time, she was a member of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company that Gary Sinise was instrumental in establishing. In 1987 she won a Chicago / Midwest Emmy Award for her role in Murder in Green Meadows. She also starred in Disney's Tall Tale in 1995. In June 2011, Moira joined the Gary Sinise Foundation's board of directors.

With two brothers, a sister, a brother-in-law, and a nephew, all having served in the U.S. Army, it has always been important to me to support our military. Seeing Gary play and perform for the troops with his Lt. Dan Band has been a blessing and a miracle because it’s what he loves to do, and it’s so pure and joyful. I have great respect for what he’s doing. Our family is proud to have been able to support him over these many years in his mission, and so proud to see how that mission evolved into the Gary Sinise Foundation.
