Early life

Balsam was born in New York City in 1959 (though some sources erroneously give 1960) to actor Martin Balsam and actress Joyce Van Patten. Her ancestry includes Russian-Jewish, Italian, Dutch, and English. She is the niece of actor Dick Van Patten, actress Pat Van Patten and actor and director Tim Van Patten.

She attended a boarding school in Tucson, Arizona, in her adolescent years.
Personal life

Balsam married actor George Clooney in Las Vegas in 1989; they were divorced in 1993. Clooney stated, "I probably – definitely – wasn't someone who should have been married at that point." Clooney told Vanity Fair, "I just don't feel like I gave Talia a fair shot." Since 1998 Balsam has been married to John Slattery with whom she has a son, Harry Slattery. They married at the county of Kauai. Together, they played husband and wife Roger and Mona Sterling in Mad Men.
