Chloë Sevigny is an American actress, model, filmmaker, and fashion designer. She is known for appearing in indie films and HBO series Big Love. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Boys Don’t Cry.
Born Chloe, she added the diaeresis to her first name, becoming Chloë. She was raised in Darien, Connecticut.
Her father, Harold David Sevigny, died in 1996. Her brother is DJ, artist, and club owner Paul Sevigny. Chloë is married to art gallery director Sinisa Mačković, with whom she has a son.
Chloë’s paternal grandfather was Harold Sweet Sevigny (the son of Wilfred Philias Sevigny and Rose Alba/Rosealma Marois). Harold was born in Attleboro, Bristol, Massachusetts. Wilfred was born in Massachusetts, to French-Canadian parents, Charles-Eusèbe Philias Sevigny, from Ste-Pie-de-Bagot, Québec, and Marie-Louise Brisson. Rose was French-Canadian, and was the daughter of Joseph Marois and Christine Lareault/Laresult.
Chloë’s paternal grandmother was Mary Ernestine Stevens (the daughter of David Lawrence Stevens and Mary Macloud). Chloë’s grandmother Mary Ernestine was born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, Canada. David was the son of John Johnston Stevens and Jane Morris. Chloë’s great-grandmother Mary Macloud was the daughter of John K. Macloud and Isabella/Bella Matheson, who was Scottish. The Macloud family was originally from Nova Scotia, and had Scottish ancestry.
Chloë’s maternal grandfather’s surname was Malinowski.

Seems like her mother is of entierly Polish ancestry
Is that the right Janine?
They’re not apparently. This is the Janine in the obituary:

This is Chloë’s mother:
They were both born in 1941 with the same name and lived in the northeast, so I see the confusion.
Thank you for the correction.
That’s a lot of coincidences!
Correction. She has English and Scottish ancestry as well. I found her grandmothers death record and her great grandparents marriage record. Her grandmother was the daughter of David L. Stevens and Mary Macloud. David was the son of John J Stevens and Jane Morris. Mary was the daughter of John K. Macloud and Bella Mathison. The family was originally from Nova Scotia and according to censuses John and Bella Macloud are listed as being Scottish.
This isn’t correct
her grandfather is this

Charles and Louise were way too old to have a child her grandfather’s age
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M2N5-B1H
as a matter of fact they were his grandparents

Geni goes rogue again.
Correction, she also has English ancestry as well. Her middle name Stevens comes from her great grandmother on her father’s side. She was born in Quebec, but her parents were originally from the U.S. with roots in England.
Don’t get her mixed up with Amanda Seyfried. This was the girl from “Kids” 1995 and then also gave a real bj in the movie “The Brown Bunny” 2003.
