Afton Smith Biography

Afton Smith is an American film and television actress. She is the former wife of actor Brendan Fraser. A native of New York, Smith grew up with aspirations to become an actress. She made her screen debut in the 1987 film ‘Less Than Zero’, portraying a character named Kim. That year, she also appeared in the television film ‘Once Again’. Despite initially working in a few moderately successful projects, Smith’s career never really took off. She met Fraser sometime in 1993 and worked with him in the 1997 hit film ‘George of the Jungle’. They subsequently married in September 1998 and had three sons together. The marriage, however, began to deteriorate in the mid-2000s, ending in a bitter divorce in April 2008. She was awarded $900,000 a year in alimony and child support payments, which Fraser contested in a petition to the courts in early 2013, citing financial inability. In turn, Smith claimed that Fraser was hiding financial assets.
