All the President’s Men star Jane Alexander looked incredible during an outing with her grandson, Mac, in New York City. The 86-year-old was stylish in a black satin coat with textured detailing, worn over a white shirt and black pants. She added black boots and wore a brightly embroidered cross-body bag around her neck as she stood beside Mac.
Her grandson, 22, looked dapper in a gray pinstripe suit over a muted blue button-down shirt paired with brown dress shoes. The duo attended the opening night of the play Marcel on the Train, which stars Mac’s mother and Jane’s daughter-in-law, Maddie Corman.
The play was co-written by Wicked star Ethan Slater and premiered over the weekend in NYC. Maddie is an acclaimed actress who has starred in projects like Seven Minutes in Heaven, Some Kind of Wonderful, The Adventures of Ford Fairlane and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
She is married to Jane’s son, Jace Alexander, and they share twins Mac and Finn as well as a daughter. Jane welcomed Jace with her first husband, Robert Alexander, whom she was married to from 1962 to 1974, and later tied the knot with director Edwin Sherin in 1975.
“My husband is a brilliant director and a very commanding presence,” she told the LA Times in 1991.
“Our relationship has been extremely passionate. We like to be together. But he does tend, when he walks into a room, to take up most of the space.” The couple worked together on several projects, including The Great White Hope.

“What is hard are the separations,” he explained. “The marriage has held together out of a very strong will. Otherwise, it really could have splintered long ago. We love each other and respect each other, and we have to make accommodations.” Edwin passed away in 2017 aged 87.
