Personal Life
Keith Carradine met Shelley Plimpton when they both were in the Broadway musical Hair. Though she was married (but separated at the time) to actor Steve Curry, she and Keith became romantically involved. After Keith left the show and had gone back to California he learned that Shelley was pregnant and had reunited with Steve. “I said, ‘You’re on your own,’ basically,” Carradine admitted. "I said, ‘I can’t deal with this.’ I was 19 and, as I said, it was probably my low point.” He had a change of heart and met his daughter, Martha Plimpton, when she was four years old, after Shelley and Steve had divorced. He said of Shelley, "She did a hell of a job raising Martha. I was not there. I was a very young man, absolutely terrified. She just took that in, and then she welcomed me into Martha’s life when I was ready.”
Carradine married Sandra Will on February 6, 1982. They were separated in 1993 and subsequently divorced. They had two children: Cade Richmond Carradine, (born July 19, 1982) and Sorel Johannah Carradine (born June 18, 1985). In 2006, Sandra Will pled guilty to two counts of perjury for lying to a grand jury about her involvement in the Anthony Pellicano wire tap scandal. Sandra Will hired, and then became romantically involved with, Pellicano after her divorce from Carradine. According to FBI documents, Pellicano tapped Keith Carradine's telephone and recorded calls between him and girlfriend Hayley DuMond at Sandra Will Carradine's request, as well as DuMond's parents. On November 18, 2006, Keith Carradine married actress Hayley DuMond, in Turin, Italy. They met in 1997 when they co-starred in the Burt Reynolds film The Hunter's Moon.
