Jill who was older than Philip is in her 50’s and Emily is younger. Their mother, the former Marilyn Loucks, is a former family court judge. Their father, Gordon, worked for the Xerox Corporation. Their parents, who divorced when they were young, survive him. In his acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in 2006, Emily and Jill’s brother, Mr. Hoffman thanked many people, but in particular their mother, now known as Marilyn O’Connor, who attended. He thanked her for raising him and his three siblings on her own and for taking him to see his first play.
