Family
Moffat is the great-great-granddaughter of the actor-manager and RADA founder Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree. Her great grandfather was the artist and designer Curtis Moffat, and her great grandmother was the poet Iris Tree. Her grandfather was the screenwriter and producer Ivan Moffat.
Her paternal grandmother was the Hon. Katharine Smith, who was married to Ivan Moffat from 1961 to 1972. Katharine Smith was the daughter of businessman William Henry Smith, 3rd Viscount Hambleden (of the W H Smith family), and his wife Patricia (daughter of the 15th Earl of Pembroke and lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother). Through the Pembroke line, Moffat descends from the celebrated Russian aristocratic family of Vorontsov. Count Semyon Vorontsov, the Russian ambassador to Britain, brought the family to London in 1785.
Moffat's maternal grandfather is Laurie Sawle, a former Australian cricketer and chairman of selectors for the Australian national cricket team.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.”
—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
“A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
