Life

Brennan was born in Cork, Ireland and grew up in Johnsburg, Illinois in the US, after her family moved there when she was young.[1] Brennan and Waits met in 1979 when Waits made his acting debut in Paradise Alley,[2] and then again during the filming of the Francis Ford Coppola film One from the Heart in 1980. Waits was composing the original soundtrack for the film, while Brennan worked at the film's studio, American Zoetrope, as a script analyst. They married the same year.[3] Waits has described Brennan as "a remarkable collaborator... She's bold, inventive and fearless. That's who you wanna go in the woods with, right? Somebody who finishes your sentences for you."[4]

Brennan's first co-writing credit appears on Rain Dogs in 1985 for "Hang Down Your Head", and by 1992 she was his main producer and constant song-writing partner; her record collection introduced him to the music of Captain Beefheart.[5] She is generally regarded as the catalyst for Waits's more experimental sound beginning with the album Swordfishtrombones.[6] Waits has said: "She doesn't like the limelight, but she's an incandescent presence on all songs we work on together."[7] Brennan and Waits live in northern California with their three children.[8]
