The Nationality of Ashley Bratcher

Advertisment

Ashley Bratcher is an American actress who has portrayed anti-heroine, Abby Johnson in many movies from the 1990s to the present. She was born in segregated Mississippi and grew up in segregated Little Rock, Arkansas. It was her parents’ decision to send her to college, which she enjoyed, and that paid off for her in more ways than one. She went on to have a successful acting career, appearing in such movies as Pleasantville (with James Marsden), The Perfect Score (with George Clooney), A Few Good Men (with Ben Kingsley), Man on the Moon (with Kurt Russell), The Pursuit of Happyness (with Bill Murray), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (with Julia Roberts).

As stated earlier, Ashley Bratcher does not hold a national identity card, nor do we know if she ever applied for citizenship because she is an American by birth. Her birth country is Mexico, though she has claimed to have other American friends. Her given name is Ashley Sue Hernreich, which is listed in several places, including public records, court documents, and on her driver’s license, but could be from either Mexico or the United States. Some sources indicate that her given name is Ashley Jeanette Hernreich, while others give her name as Ashley Bratcher.

Ashley Bratcher is thirty-one years old and was married in 1984, at the age of eighteen, to Richard Porter. We know very little about the marriage except that it was less than a happy occurrence and that it led to divorce. From this we can conclude that Ashley Bratcher was not natural born, nor did she have citizenship or permanent residence in the United States, though she would have had no difficulty if she had so desired. Her birth country is Mexico, and her marriage to Richard Porter was also performed outside of the United States. However, we do know that she lived in Florida at the time of their marriage.
