We are all aware of the fact that John McEnroe, the 7-time Grand Slam champion, built an impressive legacy for himself in the sport. His kids, however, have not followed in his footsteps. They have all chosen career paths that are entirely different from their father’s sporting pursuits. One of McEnroe’s daughters, Emily McEnroe, is carving her way into the entertainment industry as an artist and an actor.
Emily is the daughter of the American tennis legend and his first wife, Tatum O’Neal, an accomplished actress. Choosing to follow her mother into the entertainment industry, her directorial debut short film ‘Hi Mom’ has been selected to be showcased in a prestigious film festival. Hopefully, this achievement will be crucial for the 31-year-old artist who is trying to make it in show business.
