Jane Musky’s Career in the moviemaking industry
The real breakthrough in Musky’s career occurred in 1984, when she was approached by the legendary, critically acclaimed Oscar-winning filmmakers – the Coen Brothers, who hired her as the production designer on their crime drama thriller movie “Blood Sample.” With her career set on a rising path, by the end of the decade Jane had already put her name on the production design of several of Hollywood’s blockbusters, including “The Little Sister” (1986), “Raising Arizona” (1987), and “Young Guns” (1988).
To an even greater prominence Jane came in 1989, when she worked on one of the most popular movies of the 1980s, the Oscar-nominated comedy drama “When Harry Met Sally…” which was followed by the critically acclaimed Oscar-winning masterpiece, the 1990 fantasy drama “Ghost”.
Throughout the 1990s Musky’s career in production design blossomed, as she collaborated with some of the biggest names of the moviemaking industry, including Al Pacino, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin and Brad Pitt to name a few, and worked on movies such as “Glengarry Glen Ross” (1992), “City Hall” and “The Devil’s Own” (1997) among several others. During the 2000s Jane signed production design of popular movies including “Finding Forrester” (2000), “Mona Lisa Smile” (2003), “Hitch” (2005) as well as “Music and Lyrics” (2007) and “Notorious” (2009).

These were followed by a several others big-screen-engagements “She’s Funny That Way” and “Boychoir” both in 2014, “Freeheld” (2015) and most recently the 2018 Russian drama movie “The Seagull”. Apart from all these accomplishments, Musky had also added several television credits to her already abundant professional portfolio, such as the series “Do No Harm”, “Ironside” and “Alex, Inc.”.

Jane Musky and her husband Tony Goldwyn
Aside from being widely known for her professional accomplishments in the moviemaking industry, Jane Musky is also widely recognized for being married to another celebrity – Tony Goldwyn, who is quite a multi talented personality, being not only an actor and singer, but a director, producer and a political activist as well.
Anthony Howard ‘Tony’ Goldwyn was born on the 20th May 1960 in Los Angeles, California USA, into a rather artistic family – his grandfather Samuel Goldwyn was a film producer and one of the moguls of the early era of Hollywood, while his grandmother was actress Frances Howard. Tony’s father is film producer Samuel Goldwyn Jr. and his mother is actress Jennifer Howard. With a family background like this, it is no wonder that he managed to make quite a successful career for himself in the entertainment business, after graduating from Brandeis University from which he obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and then attending the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
Jane and Tony have been married since April 1987, and have welcomed two daughters – Anna Musky Goldwyn and Tess Frances Goldwyn. By being the one of the very few couples in showbiz still married after 30 years, one could conclude that they are happily married.

Well, Jane’s net worth as of November 2018, and estimated authoritative sources, is over $1 million, while that of her husband wealth revolves around the sum of $6 million which certainly rounds off quite an impressive amount of wealth, all acquired through her professional career in the production design department of Hollywood movies, which has been active since the early 1980s.
