an actress
Afton Smith’s career as an actress was quite short and included several minor film roles.
Afton made her acting debut in 1987 as Kim in Less Than Zero – the crime drama centered on Clay, a college student who returns to Los Angeles when his ex-girlfriend asks. However, he soon discovers that his best friend has become addicted to drugs. The film stars Andrew McCarthy, Jamie Gertz, Robert Downey Jr., and James Spader. The budget of the film was not high and it did not receive warm reviews.
Afton’s second role was in 1987, playing a minor character in the comedy TV movie “One More Time”, which focused on Aging Rocker, a young man visiting his father in New Jersey on his wedding day, but an event that suddenly shocks him deeply. The movie did not get good reviews.
Four years passed before Afton could land another role, this time in “Pyrates,” which centers on Ari and Sam’s romance. The comedy was released on March 5, 1992.
In 1991, Afton played Leona Threadgood in “Fried Green Tomatoes”, starring Kathy Bates and Mary Stewart Masterson. The film centers on Evelyn Couch, an unhappy housewife who visits a nursing home one day to visit some of her relatives. There she meets Ninny Threadgoode, with whom Evelyn shares the story of a young woman named Idgie Threadgoode – and the women eventually develop a friendship through her. The film had a low budget, but was well received commercially.
After this film, another three years passed before Afton got another role. In 1994, she played Janine in “Reality Bites”, a comedy-drama film starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, and Ben Stiller. The film tells the story of Lilena Pierce, a filmmaker trying to survive after college. The film’s critics were not kind, and it was not a commercially successful film.
In 1995, Afton got her first and only television role in the series called “Pig Sty”, where she played a woman of great appearance. In the same year, she played the role of Becky in the movie “A Reason to Believe”. The film focused on Charlotte, a famous student who was sexually assaulted after a party.
Charlotte admits what happened to people close to her, but her assailant Jim Curran denies that what happened was considered rape. The whole situation is strengthening and weakening some relationships and friendships on campus. The film starred Alison Smith and Jay Underworld, and received mixed reviews.
Afton’s last movie role came when she was cast as one of Ursula’s friends in the Disney movie “George of the Jungle”. Brendan Fraser and Leslie Mann were the protagonists of the film, playing the characters of George and Ursula, respectively. The film received mixed reviews, but was a huge box office success.

Private life
Relationship with Brendan Fraser
Afton met Brendan on July 4, 1993, at a barbecue at Winona Ryder’s home. It is said that they fell in love instantly. In 1996 Fraser proposed to Afton in Paris, and two years later they married in 1998. The first child of the marriage came in 2002, a son they named Griffin Arthur Fraser. They welcomed their second son in 2004, named Holden Fletcher Fraser. The couple’s third and last son was Leland Frances Fraser, born in 2006.
Despite the long time they spent together and after they became parents, their relationship began to deteriorate, and in 2007 the couple announced their separation. It was agreed that Fraser must pay child support to Afton at $900,000 a year. However, in 2013, Fraser asked the court to reduce his child support, saying he did not earn enough money to afford it. He also claimed that his health condition limited his ability to take on prominent roles as he had years ago. Afton alleged that Brendan was lying, claiming he was hiding $9 million from his contracts.
Who is Brendan Fraser?
Brendan Fraser is an American-Canadian actor born on December 3, 1968 in Indianapolis, Indiana, the son of Canadians Carol Marie and Peter Fraser.
Since Fraser’s debut in 1988 in the TV series “America’s Most Wanted”, his acting career has grown as he has played several major roles. His second role and film debut came in 1991, in the movie “Dogfight”. The first starring role will come only a year later, in the movie “Encino Man” in which he played the role of a caveman. Also in 1992, he starred with Chris O’Donnell and Matt Damon in the movie “School Ties”.
Other roles would come for him in 1994, with the character of Steve Nebraska in “The Scout,” and the role of Montgomery “Monty” Kessler in “Hons.” In the same year, he starred as Chester Ogilvie in the comedy “Airheads”, co-starring with Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi.
Then he starred in The Passion of Darkly Noon in 1995, followed by The Twilight of the Golds in 1997, and in the same year in the hit film “George of the Jungle”, based on the animated series created by Jay Hall.
He starred in Clayton Boone in 1998’s “Gods and Monsters,” a life-centered story directed by James Will.
In 1999, he starred in the hit movie “The Mummy”, along with Rachel Weisz, where Brendan played the American adventurer Rick O’Connell. The film was so successful that in 2001 the second part “The Mummy Returns” was released, and in 2008 the third part “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor” was released – all three films were very successful at the box office.
Another successful film in which Fraser appeared is the Oscar-winning 2004 movie “Crash”. In 2007 he starred in the films “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and “Inkhart”. He joined the cast of The Affair in 2016.
Despite the success of Fraser’s film in the 1990s and early 2000s, he did not receive many job offers during the 2000s, which he attributes to accusations of sexual assault against Philip Burke. Furthermore, he suffered from several medical issues, which made him undergo knee and vocal cord replacement surgery.
