She Is Dreyfuss’ Third Wife

Before marrying Svetlana Erokhin, Richard Dreyfuss was married twice more, first to writer and producer Jeramie Rain, with whom he was married from March 1983 to September 1992. With Rain, he has three children: Emily (born 1983), Benjamin (born 1986), and Harry (born 1990). His second child, Benjamin, suffers from a rare genetic eye disorder called Peters Anomaly, which left him blind in the left eye despite several operations. Dreyfuss and Rain regularly raised funds for ophthalmology centers across the United States to support treatment of such disorders. He was later married to Janelle Lacey from 1999 to 2005, but they did not have any children.
