Who Is Graham Greene’s Wife, Hilary Blackmore?
Hilary Blackmore was a creative force in her own right before marrying Graham Greene. She grew up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in a household filled with creativity her father was an artist and her mother a teacher. Blackmore studied drama and built a career in Canadian theatre as both an actress and stage manager, with credits including The Sleep Room and Love and Human Remains.
She met Greene around the time his career skyrocketed with Dances with Wolves in 1990. Their connection was immediate, and they married that same year on December 20. A statement from Greene’s manager confirmed:
“Greene is survived by his wife of 34 years, Hilary Blackmore.”
How Did Graham Greene and Hilary Blackmore Meet?
The couple crossed paths just as Greene’s professional life was transforming. His role as Kicking Bird earned him an Academy Award nomination and marked a personal turning point. He once reflected on this period:
“A key moment for me came when I married my wife Hilary Blackmore, which led to ‘the best time of my life’.”
Their meeting coincided with Greene’s rising fame, and they built a life together away from Hollywood’s glare, residing outside Toronto with what friends often described as a “small army of cats”.
How Many Children Did Graham Greene Have?
Graham Greene is survived by two children. While some sources name them as Lucy Greene and Francis Hugh Greene, others mention a daughter, Lilly Lazare-Greene. He also had a grandson, Tarlo (also referred to as Talo in some reports).

What Was Graham Greene’s Family Life Like?
Greene cherished his privacy and family life. He and Hilary chose to raise their family in Canada, steadfastly avoiding the Hollywood migration. He famously stated:

Their home was a haven of creativity and normalcy, filled with pets and love. Despite his global fame, Greene prioritized being a devoted family man, often engaging in writing, boat building, and golf.
