Amy Hargreaves is an American actress who plays Maggie Mathison, Carrie Mathison's older sister, on Homeland.

Biography[]

Amy Hargreaves was born on January 27, 1970 near New York City, where she grew up. She still lives in the city with her husband and their two children. For her role as Maggie Mathison on "Homeland," she occasionally flies to Charlotte, North Carolina for a week, but doesn't see the need to move there.

The artistic gene seems to run in the Hargreaves' family. Her brother Mick works in New York as a musician. Before her acting career, however, Amy focused on something down-to-earth and completed a Master of Arts in political science at New York University. Apart from that, she is fluent in French.

Quotes[]

“I think that as women we have a secret—or maybe not-so-secret—thrill in watching Carrie put herself first no matter what,” Hargreaves says. “We, as women, sacrifice and often put ourselves behind our kids and our partners. But not Carrie. Her occasional indifference to her child and her subpar mothering might speak to a secret part of us ladies… the part that sometimes wants to just say screw it, and go out for milk… and never come back.” - Amy Hargreaves
