Voight also said he is “very proud” of his daughter and granddaughter.
“[I’m] very proud of Vivienne and very proud of Angie,” the actor said, adding, “because she really tries to encourage each of the kids to be what they want to be.”

The Academy award winner previously said of the project,”I feel very fortunate to be a part of this special production. I studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute where I realized my first love, as a performer, was the theatre. I had not found a way back until now. I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse.”
Moreover, she gushed about her daughter, “Viv reminds me of my mother in that she isn’t focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives. She’s very thoughtful and serious about theatre and working hard to best understand how to contribute.”
