Tuesday Weld

**Tuesday Weld** (born August 27 1943) is an American movie and television actress.  She began her acting career as a child. She has acted in many television programs and movies.

Weld was born **Susan Ker Weld** in New York City. After her father died, her mother put her to work as a child model.  Weld's first acting job was on television at age 12.  She was in a movie the same year with a small role in the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock crime drama, _The Wrong Man_. The pressures of her career, however, resulted in a nervous breakdown at age nine, alcoholism by age 12, and a suicide attempt around the same time.

Weld's mother did not like her teenage daughter's affairs with older men, such as actor John Ireland.  In 1961, she had an off-screen romance with Elvis Presley, her costar in _Wild in the Country_.

## Personal life

Weld has been married three times.

She was married to screenwriter Claude Harz, from 1965 until their divorce in 1971. They had a daughter, Natasha, in 1966.

She married British actor, musician, and comedian Dudley Moore in 1975. In 1976 they had a son, Patrick.  He is now an actor, director, and editor. They divorced in 1980. In 1985 she married Israeli concert violinist and conductor Pinchas Zukerman. They divorced in 1998.
