Personal life
Innes was born and raised in Pontiac, Michigan, the youngest daughter of six children of Lavette and Robert Innes, a tool and die company executive. In December 1980, her first fiancé, actor David Bell, was assassinated. A few years after the assassination, she married actress David Brisbin and gave birth to their son, Cal. Mia, a Chinese girl, was adopted by the couple later.
Innes told the Daily Mirror that ten years of portraying Dr. Weaver's limp had caused her to experience real spinal injury ("the bottom of my spine is starting to curve on one side from ten years of hip raising"; as a result, ER's producers developed a plot arc in which Weaver's symptoms were surgically relieved.
Career
Innes was introduced to professional theatre by her father, who took her family to the Stratford Festival of Canada in Stratford, Ontario.

In this version, John Malkovich appeared in Mitch. Two Shakespearean Actors with Eric Stoltz at Lincoln Center, Our Town at the Seattle Repertory Theatre, and Three Sisters at the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego are among the notable stage credits.
