Who is Woody Harrelson’s wife Laura Louie?
On December 29, 2008, Woody Harrelson married his longtime girlfriend Laura Louie.
The pair walked down the aisle at a wedding ceremony held at their home in Maui, Hawaii.
Laura is the co-founder of the now-defunct organic food delivery service Yoganics.
She and Woody are also the creators behind the online site Voice Yourself.
Through Voice Yourself, the couple advocates for a number of environmental causes.
“Often, I’ve found the least expensive things can be the most personally rewarding,” Woody remembered about their wedding to CNBC.
“Take my wedding for example. The whole event cost a total of $500.
“We didn’t feel the need to shell out a ton of cash and do anything over the top.
“It was basically just a bunch of good friends getting together in Maui.”
How did Woody meet Laura?
Woody and Laura met sometime in 1987; she was hired to be the Emmy Award winner’s personal assistant on the set of Cheers.
The Frasier actor recalled to The Hollywood Reporter: “This media workshop came to see Cheers. I was there for eight years and in all that time, we only talked to one group, and it just happened to be this group.
“UCLA put it on but it was people from all over and at some point, I was like, ‘Hey, does anybody here have secretarial skills? Cause I could really use an assistant.’ And this young woman Laura Louie raised her hand.
“I asked her to come down ’cause she was up in the stands. So she came down, and I said, ‘We’ll meet tomorrow. Come out to my place in Marina del Rey.’

“We had one of the greatest conversations I ever had, so she became my assistant.”
He further explained: “She was so great that every other person in Cheers got an assistant after that.
“She became my assistant the day after I met her and for the next three years.
“I’d written this song for her. I remember I was 28, and there’s a line in it…’I’m only 28, but I’m bored with everything I do.
“‘I’ve got nothing when I’m not next to you…Are you thinking about me, baby?… Cause I’m thinking about you.’”
Woody added: “It was pretty direct. I play her the song and afterward, she says, ‘Woody, I’ve been in love with you for the last two and a half years.’
“I got the most amazing wife I could imagine. But did marriage calm me down? I don’t think anything will ever calm me down.”
