The actress took a very different path from her most renowned character – she became a member of British nobility.
Langer also starred in sitcoms like The Wonder Years, Baywatch, Drexell’s Class, It’s Like, You Know… and Three Sisters, among other projects.
In 2004, she wed attorney Charles Courtenay, the son of Hugh Courtenay, 18th Earl of Devon, holding the courtesy title of Lady Courtenay.
Upon her father-in-law’s death , she officially became Countess of Devon.
After a six-year acting hiatus, which she later explained was due to a chronic pain condition called fibromyalgia, Langer appeared in 14 episodes of Private Practice in the recurring role of Erica Warner in 2011. Her run ended in 2012 when her character died.
In 2014 she and her family – including the couple’s two children Lady Joscelyn Skye Courtenay and Jack Haydon Langer Courtenay, Lord Courtenay – relocated to London, and later to the family seat at Powderham Castle in May 2015.
But in November 2023, the actress’s husband filed for divorce from her, with the couple separating.
