Michael Polley's wife has a story to tell

Sarah Polley, a Canadian actress, singer, film director, and screenwrite, latest film, Stories We Tell, tells the story of her family. She's the daughter of Diane Elizabeth (née MacMillan), an actress and casting director, and Michael Polley, a British-born actor. Polley reveals in Stories We Tell, Polley was not her biological father. She als tells her story in a blogpost. This story about Canadian darling Sarah Polley was a bombshell. As The Globe and Mail writes: "That she was born of an affair stunned fans this week, but more eye-opening was the reaction of her father – the father who raised her – to the revelation that his late wife had been unfaithful, and that he had zero biological investment in his youngest daughter. In Ms. Polley’s words, it was 'extraordinary. His chief concern, almost immediately, was that my siblings and I not put any blame on my mother for her straying outside of their marriage.'". There was none of the screaming or chair-tossing often found in mainstream portrayals of cuckoldry, as men’s paternity is announced or renounced from a manila envelope. I think Michael earns a 9 for the fact that his cuckoldry is dramatised in a movie.
