Elisabeth Moss Family – Education
Moss is the daughter of musicians Ronald Charles Moss and Linda Ekstrom Moss; her mother is a professional jazz and blues harmonica player. Moss has one younger sibling. She was brought up as a Scientologist. Her father is a British citizen. Her mother is of Swedish ancestry.
She traveled to New York City as a child to study ballet at the School of American Ballet, and then to Washington, D.C. to study with Suzanne Farrell at the Kennedy Center. She continued to study dance throughout her adolescence, but she also began to get acting roles. She began homeschooling in order to manage her education and career, and she graduated in 1999.
Elisabeth Moss Husband
She met Fred Armisen in October 2008, and they married on October 25, 2009, in Long Island City, New York. They separated in June 2010, and Moss filed for divorce in September 2010, which was finalized on May 13, 2011.
Elisabeth Moss The West Wing
She played Zoey Bartlet on The West Wing. President Josiah Bartlet and First Lady Abigail Bartlet’s youngest daughter is Zoey Bartlet. She graduated from Georgetown University.
According to Abigail Bartlet, Zoey is always her father’s daughter, and during her recovery from her ordeal, Charlie expresses how she can’t bear letting Jed down. Zoey strives to forge her own identity, but because she lives so close to the President (geographically), she struggles more visibly than her sisters. However, as the series progresses, and especially as Zoey grows older and experiences college life, she gains confidence and begins to emerge from her father’s enormous shadow. Despite her apparent willingness to assist her father’s political activities, Zoey clearly adores their farm in rural New Hampshire and everything it represents. Zoey is a devoted daughter, expecting her father and Charlie to accept Jean-Paul because she adores him and, at least once, lying to C.J. to cover for a friend who was struggling with drug addiction.
As befits a person who grew up in the political spotlight, Zoey is an excellent reader of others, though this skill betrays her in the case of Jean-Paul.

Joan later tells Peggy that she is upset that Peggy told her that Don may be sleeping with other women and that keeping Don’s secrets is part of the job. Peggy is brought in to try out a “weight loss” device, which is a plastic belt shaped like a woman’s pantyhose with a control box and an electric cord. She tries it one day and discovers that it has little effect on weight loss but produces a lot of stimulation.
