    Alexis Danson Biography

    Born in Los Angeles, California, in 1985, to a mentally deranged alcoholic, Kelly Topel, and an unknown father. Surviving under the morbid circumstances of complete lack and extreme poverty had proven abortive for Alexis Danson and her mother. Knowing how much they lacked substance, Kelly Topel tendered out her daughter for adoption for $7000, to which starstruck celebrity and actor Ted Danson and ex-wife Casey Coates paid in full.

    Alexis would later grow up with three other (step) siblings, Lilly McDowell, Kate Danson, and Beckett Taylor McDowell. Under the influence of her father’s progressive status as an actor, Alexis Danson later patterned in the same vein.

    Who are Alexis Danson’s parents?

    Details surrounding Alexis’ biological parents are shrouded in a sad history; her biological is unidentified; her mother gave her up for adoption because of her inability to take care of young Alexis.

    Alexis Danson’s Mother

    Kelly Topel was born in 1962. She is 61 years old and was allegedly a homeless alcoholic who has been in and out of four mental hospitals and jails between 2010 and 2015. She was arrested for narcotics possession, prostitution, etc. After her marriage with Alexis’s anonymous father broke apart, she married Mark Payne, but the marriage was violent due to disagreement over Kelly’s possession of illicit drugs. Her husband filed multiple domestic violence charges against her in 2015.

    On the other hand, Alexis has avoided her mother, who went to churches in the wealthiest areas of Minneapolis with a card asking for a couple to adopt her child.

    Ted Danson and Casey Coates adopted Alexis Danson. Ted is an American actor and producer known for his work in the movie industry. Casey Coates (born 1938, 85 years) is a famous American producer and interior designer with a degree in environmental design.

    Let’s look further into Alexis’s adoptive father. Ted Danson was born on December 29, 1947. He is 75 years. He was a vegetarian but repositioned to mixing his meals with seafood, a practice called Pescetarianism.

    He began his acting career with a role in the daytime soap opera His Somerset, where he played the role of Tom Conway from 1975 to 1976. In 1977 he gained more fame when he played the role of Dr. Mitchell Pearson and Dr. Chuck Weldon in The Doctors series. Aside from acting in movies, Ted played a role in the 1981 Aramis Cologne commercial.

    Ted is best known for starring in Sam Malone in the NBC 1982 sitcom Cheers. His role in the movie earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

    Ted first found love with actress Randall “Randy” Gosch and tied the marital knot with her in 1970. The marriage lasted five years, and they did not give birth to any child. Ted found love again with environmentalist Casey Coates in 1977 and divorced her in 1993 after he found love for the third time with an American actress, comedian, singer, and songwriter, Mary Steenburgen. He met Mary on the set of the movie Pontiac Moon in 1993 and went on to marry her in 1995.

Their common interest in environmentalism brought them together but couldn’t keep them together forever.

During Kate’s birth, she suffered a stroke due to unchecked blood pressure, and it paralyzed the left half of her body. Kate was delivered without complications, but Casey bore the stroke for a long time, forcing Ted to pause his career to take care of her. The illness also created a rift in their relationship, but it was not enough to break them apart. Casey recovered from the stroke but could not have another child, so she and her husband adopted Alexis in 1985.
