Lee is a father to five children, the first two raised in Boston with his first wife, Barbara Lee, who promotes women for elected office, and the next three raised in New York, where he lives with his second wife, Ann Tenenbaum, chairman of Film Society of Lincoln Center, and co-founder of record label Wolfbomb Productions.
It’s a privilege “to love someone and have them love you and take care of them and they take care of you for the rest of your life,” he said of Tenenbaum.
One of the things his wife has to put up with: he’s a professional hypochondriac. “I haven’t told you about my gravestone,” Lee said. “It’s going to say, I told you I was really sick.”
