Karey Burke Was Born In Orange County
Karey Burke was born Karey Nixon on September 25, 1966, in Orange County, Los Angeles, California. Her birth sign is Libra and she belongs to the Caucasian ethnic group. Her birth status allows her to enjoy the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of an American citizen.
She was born to the family of Ken Nixon and Marcia Nixon. Aside from their names, however, there is no public record that shows what they did for a living. Available information on Burke’s early life does not also answer the question of whether she had siblings or if she was an only child.
Karey Burke has spent the majority of her life in Los Angeles. While there are no publicly available records to show where she attended high school, details of her formal educational background show that she was a student at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1984. She graduated with the 1988 class with a degree in communications.
Karey Burke Is Married To Michael Duggan
Karey Burke is happily married to her longtime partner, Michael Duggan. We don’t have any sort of information with regards to how, or when they met, or even how long they were together before tying the knot, however, they celebrated their marriage ceremony in the living room of Karey’s house on December 24, 2019.
The couple has been married for over two years now. Their relationship is characterized by the love, devotion, commitment, support, and dedication they show to each other.
Her husband, Michael Duggan is a writer, producer, and director who began his career in the American entertainment industry in 1981. His first project in Hollywood was for a TV show dubbed Hill Street Blues. Since making his debut, Karey’s husband has worked on other projects as a writer and a producer as well.
Some of his works include Miss Miami (2002), Secret Agent Man (2000), Millennium (1998), C-16: FBI (1997), Brooklyn South (1997), Earth 2 (1994), Crime & Punishment (1993), Law & Order (1990–1992), Nasty Boys (1990), and Miami Vice (1988). At the moment, his only work as a director is in the 2019 movie The F**k It List, which received a glowing review from Karey on her Facebook page.
Karey Burke Has Five Children
Karey Burke and her husband are parents to five children. Their names are Zoe Burke, Priscilla Burke, Embo Burke, Ry Burke, and one additional child whose name is yet to be made public.
The children’s last names opened the door to questions about who their real father was. At the moment, the answer to that question hasn’t been found as Karey remains tight-lipped about what her past relationships were like.
Two of the executive producer’s children identify with the LGBTQ+ community- one of her sons is transgender while the other one identifies as pansexual.
After he came out as transgender, Karey revealed that the transition period for her son was not an easy one and she took the opportunity to express her gratitude to the doctor who made it easier by being available.
Karey has expressed her support for the LGBTQ+ community and she shows that support through her children. She has also voiced her plans to use her position at Disney World to make sure that the community is adequately and fairly represented in the company’s upcoming projects.
It is a sentiment that does not have the support of all, especially people who believe she has not considered the demographics that relate to the fact that less than 4.5 percent of Americans belong to the LGBTQ+ community, and also that movies like that will be banned by countries who are not as tolerant as the US. She seems resolute, however, in her conviction that it is the best way forward for the company.
She Was Appointed President of 20th Century Fox Television In 2020
Karey Burke put her communications degree to good use by finding employment at ABC as a comedy development assistant. She quickly rose through the ranks to become an executive producer and subsequently the network’s president from 2018 to 2020.
Her career as an executive producer began in 2004 when she ensured the success of projects such as Nevermind Nirvana, Isabel (2012), and The Pro (2014). Her other projects as an executive producer include The Real Wedding Crashers, Pop Fiction, Miss Guided, Opportunity Knocks, The Beautiful Life: TBL, True Beauty, and several others.
She called time on her career at ABC in 2020 after which she was appointed president of 20th Century Fox TV Inc. in December 2020. She is currently the president of Disney General Entertainment Content, where she is currently pushing her agenda for movies that will adequately represent the LGBTQ+ community.
Karey Burke’s hard work over the years has helped her amass a net worth estimated to be around $1.1 million.
