Abigail Hopkins' personal life

The father-daughter estranged relationship is a long story. Abigail Hopkins' parents separated when she was 14 months old. It was reported that Antony spent more time away from home for work and had an alcohol addiction.

Antony left his family in 1972 after a divorce and married Jennifer Lynton (English production assistant) the following year. Later, the actor's comment about his ex-wife in 1985 sparked a row between him and the 16-year-old Abigail and ended their communication.

She would only see him once a year henceforth. Absentee father issues provoked anger and suicidal thoughts in Abigail. She would harm her body while hoping to die. As a result, she dropped out of university at age 18 and sought solace in drugs.

The actress reconnected with her dad for the first time when she moved to Los Angeles in her mid-20s to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She also changed her name temporarily to Abigail Harrison in the early 1990s.

Her father helped her feature in his 1993 movies The Remains of the Day and Shadowlands. He also helped her buy an apartment but never earned his daughter's forgiveness for disrespecting her mum.
