In a 2012 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, her son Ben Affleck said:

“My mother taught public school, went to Harvard, and then got her master’s there and taught fifth and sixth grade in a public school. My dad had a more working-class lifestyle. He didn’t go to college. He was an auto mechanic and a bartender and a janitor at Harvard.”

Ben Affleck has also given credit to his mother as his role model. He said that: “She is an exceptional woman. She has been my role model. She was a really attentive, loving mother, and she always made it clear growing up that there is a right way and a wrong way to treat people and that they are not here to tend to my whims and desires.”
