Jacki Weaver (born May 25 1947) is an Australian stage, television and film actress.

She attended Hornsby Girls High School. Her father was a Sydney solicitor, her mother from northern England.

Weaver has married five times. She married first at age 19, to David Price, a television director and producer. She had a son, Dylan Taylor (born 1970), by John Walters, when she was still married to Price, but separated from him. Walters was 30 years older than Jackie, and died when Dylan was 16, although she was no longer with Walters by that time. David Price also died, of cirrhosis of the liver, contracted through hepatitis C (it was wrongly rumoured that he had AIDS). Her second husband was Max Hensser, a sound recordist. She twice married and divorced her third husband Derryn Hinch. At Hinch's and Weaver's first wedding in 1983, their best man was Andrew Peacock. They divorced for the second time in October 1998. Her fifth husband was Sean Taylor, who is eight years younger than Jackie. At one time, she was in a relationship with Richard Wherrett; they came close to marrying, but his homosexuality meant this was not a practical proposition. Her brother Rod Weaver, a barrister, is married to Helen Wellings.

She is a good friend of Archbishop Peter Carnley, and stayed with him whenever she was in Perth.
