Zoe Wanamaker was born in 1949 in New York City to parents who were 
American citizens, and she is still a US citizen.  Her father was Sam Wanamaker, 
an actor and director who was born in Chicago, Illinois, into the famous 
department-store family. Sam Wanamaker relocated to England in the 1950s as 
a result of the US Communist witch-hunt (!) and became very involved in 
Shakespearean theater as well as directing and acting in films.  He was one of 
the key forces behind the construction of the New Globe Theater.
