\n\tChristine Anne Boldt\u00a0was born in New York City in December 1942. She was a graduate of Harvard University and spent 35 years as a public school teacher. She retired in 2008 and was a fierce civil rights advocate throughout her life, having been one of the original freedom riders who went into the Deep South during the 1960s.<\/p>\n

\n\tChris and her ex-husband Timothy Affleck welcomed their first child Ben, the two-time Oscar winner, in 1972. Ben\u2019s brother, Casey Affleck, also an Oscar winner, was born in 1975, around the time their family relocated to Massachusetts, where she continued her teaching career.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy mother taught public school, went to Harvard and then got her master\u2019s there and taught fifth and sixth grade in a public school,\u201d Ben told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> in 2012. \u201cMy dad had a more working-class lifestyle. He didn\u2019t go to college. He was an auto mechanic and a bartender and a janitor at Harvard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBy the time Ben was 12, his parents divorced. As his passion for entertainment grew during his adolescence, Chris played a hand in his early industry beginnings, connecting her son with her former Harvard roommate, casting director Patty Collins, who helped him audition for commercials and TV movies. <\/p>\n

\n\tShe was an avid supporter of his career and attended the 1998 Oscars alongside him and Matt Damon, who also brought his mother as his date. That was the year they won their first Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe were sitting next to our moms and we won, and we kind of hugged our moms. I remember how everyone had made such a big thing out of it as if this was such a novelty,\u201d Ben told\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/em> of the moment. \u201cI remember thinking, being insecure, like, \u2018Why? Why is it weird that we\u2019re bringing our moms?\u2019 Who else do you think we would bring?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChris was given six months to live in December, and her greatest wish after her diagnosis was being to see her grandson graduate high school, her family said. She attended the event with her family on May 31 and died peacefully in her sleep two days later.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to her sons, survivors include her five grandchildren, Indiana, Violet, Atticus, Fin and Sam.<\/p>\n
