Currently 80 years old,\u00a0Malcolm McDowell\u2019s legacy as one of the longest-serving performers in Hollywood is almost unmatched. The actor, producer, and TV presenter trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before commencing a career that has spanned well over five decades in 1964.<\/p>\n
He is renowned for the creativity that has seen him interpret different roles expertly. Unsurprisingly, his children have inherited that creativity and applied it to their lives and careers. Let\u2019s meet them.<\/p>\n
Malcolm McDowell\u2019s role as Alex DeLarge in the 1971 dystopian crime film, A Clockwork Orange<\/em> portrayed him as a vicious hood, and it\u2019s quite challenging to envision the veteran British actor as anything but. However, he has admitted to the fact that his kids are his weak spot, especially the three youngest.<\/p>\n That said, it becomes imperative to unveil the fact that the proud father of five has gone down the route of marriage on three different occasions to achieve that status. He was around 32 years old, and just over a decade into his acting career when he exchanged marital vows with publicist and actress Margot Bennett (born Muriel Eisenberg on February 19, 1935) in 1975.<\/p>\n They had met six years prior in 1969 when she was handling publicity duties for his first movie If\u2026<\/em>. and despite the 12-year age gap between them in favor of the actress, the former couple began a long-distance relationship soon after.<\/p>\n They dated for several years before exchanging marital vows in front of their friends and family members on April 21, 1975, in London. The marriage was McDowell\u2019s first but Bennett\u2019s second after having been married to actor Keir Dullea for eight years from 1960 to 1968.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the marriage only lasted five years and ultimately ended in divorce in September 1980. The reason for their divorce was not explicitly stated but it does not require rocket science to establish the fact that it ended primarily because McDowell had been unfaithful to Bennett. Amongst other things that were missing from their time as a married couple, McDowell did not have children with his first wife, Margot Bennett.<\/p>\n The beginning of the end of Malcolm McDowell\u2019s first marriage to Margot Bennett began in 1978 while he was filming Time After Time in California. This was when the veteran actor met and fell in love with the woman who would go on to become his second wife as well as the mother of his first two children.<\/p>\nMalcolm McDowell Had His First Two Children From His Second Marriage<\/strong><\/h3>\n
