Margot Rooker is publicly known as the longtime wife of actor Michael Rooker and the mother of their two daughters, Alynne and Gillian. Established professional records and local historical reporting place their marriage in 1979, while Princeton property history connects Margot and her family to a historic Wisconsin building.
Reliable information about Margot is limited, and no direct interview with her was found in the reviewed material. Her documented story therefore rests on a small number of clear facts about her identity, marriage, immediate family, and connection to Princeton history.

Who Is Margot Rooker?
Historical reporting and an established professional database record her full name as Margot Tsuru LaRose. Her public identity in the available records is closely connected to her marriage and family.
The Encyclopedia of Alabama identifies Margot as Michael’s wife and confirms that they have two daughters. That institutional profile was last updated in March 2025, making it the most recent reliable record reviewed that describes their family.
Available records focus on Margot’s marriage, daughters and Princeton connection rather than an independently documented professional profile.
A Marriage Beginning in 1979
A researched account from Bartel’s History of Princeton reports that Michael Rooker married Margot Tsuru LaRose in Green Lake, Wisconsin, in 1979. IMDb lists June 22, 1979, although no civil marriage record was reviewed to independently confirm the exact day.
The marriage year is supported by more than one established source. The Encyclopedia of Alabama continued to identify Margot as Michael’s wife when its profile was updated in 2025. By that point, their marriage had been documented across more than four decades.
The available records establish the chronology but offer no direct account from Margot about the relationship. There is therefore no factual basis for assigning particular personality traits, family roles or private values to her. What can be stated confidently is that the marriage began in 1979 and that recent institutional information continued to record the couple as married.
Their Family of Four
Margot and Michael Rooker have two daughters. The Encyclopedia of Alabama confirms the number of children, while professional database records identify them as Alynne Rooker and Gillian Rooker.
Alynne has a limited publicly indexed professional profile with a small number of creative credits. Those records also identify Margot Tsuru LaRose as her mother. They provide independent context for Alynne’s identity but do not reveal anything about the private relationship between mother and daughter.
Beyond their names and relationship to Margot, the available records provide little independently confirmed information about both daughters.
The Rookers’ Connection to Princeton History
One of the more distinctive verified details about Margot concerns a former brewery building in Princeton, Wisconsin. The property has a history extending back to the nineteenth century and is recorded by the Wisconsin Historical Society as a historic commercial building once associated with brewing and later known as the Tiger’s Den.
Margot’s family connection to the property began before she and Michael became its reported owners. Local historical reporting identifies Alyce LaRose as Margot’s mother. Alyce and her husband, James, purchased the former brewery property in January 1979.
The LaRoses renovated its upper floors into living space. They initially attempted to grow mushrooms in the building’s cool basement, but the climate-control costs made that activity difficult to maintain. The property was later used as an antiques store called the Tiger’s Den, carrying collected antiques and locally associated products.
In October 2015, the property reportedly passed through a trust to Michael and Margot Rooker. That transfer created a documented connection between Margot, her mother’s earlier involvement and the building’s later ownership.
Local reporting in May 2018 described Michael and Margot as the private owners and noted that masonry work had begun to preserve the structure. The repairs included tuckpointing and other work intended to keep the historic building stable. The City of Princeton was cited in connection with the ownership and maintenance information.
A later historical account published in April 2023 revisited the property’s ownership and preservation history. The writer reported trying to contact Margot but did not receive a response. Consequently, the available record documents the transfer and maintenance work without providing Margot’s own explanation of the property’s importance to her.
The building offers a rare publicly documented connection between Margot’s immediate family and her earlier family history. Its passage from Alyce LaRose and her husband’s ownership to Michael and Margot links two generations to the same Princeton landmark.
A Family Story Preserved in Public Records
Public records document Margot Rooker through a marriage beginning in 1979, her two daughters, and a Princeton property connected across two generations of her family. They provide a limited but specific account without a first-hand narrative from Margot.
