Oscar-winning actor Eric Roberts (Runaway Train) and his wife of 24 years, Eliza, participated in an episode of Celebrity Wife Swap. Eliza left her home in Los Angeles and swapped places with Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous Robin Leach’s partner Joan Severance in Las Vegas. Eliza doesn’t drink champagne (or any alcohol) or like to stay up late on the Strip — and Joan doesn’t like feeding the squirrels that the Roberts family keeps.
In addition to managing Eric’s acting career, Eliza is an actress too. She’s known for her roles in the films Kicking and Screaming (Josselyn), Doctor Who (Miranda), and in the 1978 cult classic Animal House as Brunella, the young woman who abandoned her desk at the dorm to go out with Pinto (Tom Hulce). Garrett was married once before to TV producer James Simons (Malcolm in the Middle); they had two children together, Morgan and Keaton, who appear on Celebrity Wife Swap. Fun fact: Eric and Eliza will co-star in the forthcoming film Days of Power, which will be released in September 2016.
