Bob Newhart, is an American actor and comedian who has accomplished more in his long career than most.
In addition to his 1970s blockbuster show The Bob Newhart Show, the Oak Park, Illinois native has starred in innumerable series and films as a beloved figure, winning an Emmy in 2013 for his role as Professor Proton on CBS’s The Big Bang Theory.
Bob Newhart married Ginny Newhart in 1963 and they had four children. Together, they have four children: Robert, Timothy, Jennifer, and Courtney, as well as ten grandchildren!
Meet Robert William Newhart
On November 4, 1963, Robert was born. Robert, the oldest of his four brothers, has mostly avoided the limelight, though he did follow in his father’s footsteps for one film, Heart and Souls, in 1993.
Meet Courtney Newhart
In 1977, Courtney Newhart, the family’s youngest child, was born.
Courtney made an appearance on her father’s show Newhart in 1986 and worked as a production assistant on George & Leo in 1997, but her acting/entertainment business credits don’t really go beyond that. Courtney, like her brothers, has delegated her entertainment responsibilities to her father and prioritized her family.
Meet Timothy Newhart
In 1969, Bob and Ginny had their second son, Timothy.
Although Timothy did not pursue a career in the entertainment industry, he did work as a production assistant on his father’s show Newhart and on the hit film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in the early 1990s.
In addition, from 1991 to 1992, he worked as an associate on the TV show Get a Life.
Meet Jennifer Newhart
Jennifer was born in 1970, and unlike her older brothers, she chose not to pursue a career in show business like her father.
Jennifer prefers to remain anonymous, thus there isn’t much information available about her. She has, on the other hand, attended a few red carpet events with her father (together with her brothers and mother Ginny).
