Early life and education[edit]

Hardin was born in Dallas on November 20, 1929. His father was a rancher, and Jerry spent his youth actively involved with his local church and performing in school plays. He attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, on a scholarship before going on to study at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He spent several years there before returning to the United States to begin acting in New York, performing in regional theatre for twelve years.[1]

Personal life[edit]

Hardin is married, with two children. His wife Diane (née Hill) is an acting coach.[5] Despite Hardin's claim that he "did my best to discourage my own children from doing it", his daughter Melora Hardin is also an actress, known for roles as Trudy Monk in Monk and Jan Levinson in The Office. His son Shawn Hardin worked for television studio NBC.[6]
