Joan Cusack walked away Hollywood lights
After her Emmy win, the actress largely moved away from the Hollywood spotlight, choosing to settle with Burke and their two sons, Dylan John and Miles, in Chicago. “As my kids say, Chicago is great!” “It has a rich culture and history, as well as some of the best museums, architecture and restaurants in the world,” Cusack told the Huffington Post in 2019.“Plus, it prevents our family life from being centered around TV and movies,” she added. “In Los Angeles, it’s easy to get caught up in what you look like or how much money you have, and those are not the values I want my kids to embrace.”Throughout her career, Cusack has built an impressive body of work including prominent roles in films such as “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “Grosse Pointe Blank” and “Where the Heart Is.” Her voice in the Toy Story series remains one of her most beloved and enduring roles.
