Kim Hasse is the widow of the Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, who died on 1 May 2023. There is no verified figure for her net worth. She has never disclosed her finances and Lightfoot’s estate is not a public document.
There is also a factual correction to make, because almost every page about her repeats the same error. She was not a Hollywood actress. Her film and television record runs to eight credits, and five of them are stand-in work — the crew job of holding an actor’s position while the lighting is set. One is a production assistant job on a wrestling programme in 1982. She has exactly two small acting credits.
Pages describing Teen Wolf Too as her “breakthrough role”, or saying she was “cast in” Pleasantville, are wrong. She worked on both films, as a stand-in, which is a different and genuinely skilled job.

What Is Kim Hasse Actually Worth?
Nobody knows, and there is no route to finding out.
Three things would normally give an answer. She has no public company filing. Her film work was crew work, which is paid at day rates that are never disclosed and would not build a large fortune. And Gordon Lightfoot’s estate is not published, so what she inherited — if anything — is unknown. He had six children from three relationships, and how an estate is divided between a surviving spouse and six children is a private matter.
The figure usually quoted online, around $10 million, appears to be an assumption about Lightfoot’s wealth transferred wholesale onto her name. That is not a calculation. We take the same approach with every spouse profile, including Tia Kemp and Hermine Poitou: publish what is documented and say plainly when something is not.
The Correction: She Was a Stand-In, Not a Star
This is the part worth getting right, and it is the reason this page has been rewritten.
| What other sites say | What her IMDb record actually shows |
|---|---|
| “Her breakthrough role came in the 1987 film Teen Wolf Too” | Stand-in. Not a cast role |
| “Cast in Pleasantville (1998)” | Stand-in |
| “Cast in The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)” | Credited as “Student” — a bit part. This is one of only two acting credits |
| “Worked as a producer” | Production assistant on a 1982 wrestling series. A different job entirely |
| “A career spanning over three decades, primarily as an actress” | 8 credits between 1982 and 2010, five of them stand-in work |
| “Born 4 April 1961 in Chicago” | No birth date is recorded anywhere reliable |
Comparison against her IMDb credits page, read 20 October 2026.
None of this is said to diminish her. Stand-in work is a proper craft and productions cannot run without it. The point is that an invented acting career does her no favours either — it replaces a real working history with a fake one, and it is the foundation on which the invented net worth figures are then built.

What a Stand-In Actually Does
Worth explaining properly, because most readers will never have met one and the job is routinely confused with a body double or a stunt performer.
- They hold the actor’s position while the crew sets lighting, focus and camera marks — work that can take an hour for a shot lasting seconds.
- They are matched on height and colouring, not on looks, because the point is how light falls on them.
- They do not appear in the finished film. That is a body double, which is a different job.
- It saves the production money by keeping the lead actor out of the lights until the shot is ready.
- It is day-rate work, often on long-running productions, and it is how a great many people make a steady living in film without ever being on screen.
Five stand-in credits across more than twenty years, on productions including Pleasantville and My Sister’s Keeper, describes someone who worked properly in the industry. It does not describe a film star, and it does not generate a ten-million-dollar fortune.
The Marriage, and the Date Nobody Has
Gordon Lightfoot and Kim Hasse married at Rosedale United Church in Toronto. Most sources, including his published biography, give only the year: 2014.
Her IMDb record is more precise. It gives the marriage as running from 19 December 2014 to 1 May 2023, the day he died. That exact date does not appear on the pages currently ranking for her name.
| Gordon Lightfoot’s marriages | Years |
|---|---|
| Brita Ingegerd Olaisson | 1963–1973 — two children |
| Elizabeth Moon | 1989–2011 — two children |
| Kim Hasse | 2014–2023, until his death |
He had six children in total, two from each marriage and two from relationships in between. Source: his published biography.
Lightfoot died on 1 May 2023, aged 84, at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, of natural causes. He had kept performing into his eighties.
Why the Estate Is Not Public
A lot of the speculation about her wealth assumes she inherited everything. There is no basis for that assumption either way.
Estate arrangements in Ontario are not published in a form that shows who received what. There is no public document a journalist can read. Lightfoot also had six children, and the division of an estate between a surviving spouse and six adult children is a private matter that can take many forms.
So the honest position is: he was a successful recording artist for six decades, his estate was presumably substantial, and nobody outside the family knows how it was arranged. Anyone writing a number for her inheritance is filling that gap with imagination.
What Is Not Known
| Documented | Not known, and not published here |
|---|---|
| Eight film and television credits, 1982–2010 | Her earnings from any of them |
| Married 19 December 2014; widowed 1 May 2023 | Her date of birth or age |
| Five of her credits are stand-in work | Any inheritance from the estate |
| Gordon Lightfoot had six children | How the estate was divided |
| No verified social media presence | Her net worth |
A credit list records work. It does not record pay, and it says nothing about an estate.
We have also left out speculation about a memoir or a documentary, which an earlier version of this page carried as a section heading. She has announced neither. Writing about what a recently bereaved private person might do is not reporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kim Hasse’s net worth in 2026?
No verified figure exists. She has never disclosed her finances, Gordon Lightfoot’s estate is not public, and her own film work was crew work rather than lead roles. The figures published elsewhere, often around $10 million, have no stated source.
Was Kim Hasse an actress?
Mostly not, and this is where almost every page about her goes wrong. Her IMDb record shows eight credits, of which five are stand-in work and one is a production assistant job. She has two small acting credits: “Student” in The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) and a restaurant patron in one episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show (2010).
What is a stand-in?
A crew member who stands in the actor’s position while the crew sets lighting, focus and camera marks. It is skilled, demanding work and it keeps productions on schedule, but the stand-in does not appear in the finished film.
Was Kim Hasse in Teen Wolf Too or Pleasantville?
She worked on both, as a stand-in. She was not cast in either. Describing Teen Wolf Too as her “breakthrough role”, as some sites do, is incorrect.
When did Kim Hasse marry Gordon Lightfoot?
19 December 2014, according to IMDb’s record of the marriage. Wikipedia gives the year and the venue, Rosedale United Church in Toronto, but not the day.
When did Gordon Lightfoot die?
1 May 2023, aged 84, at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, of natural causes. Kim Hasse was his wife at the time.
How many times was Gordon Lightfoot married?
Three times: to Brita Ingegerd Olaisson from 1963 to 1973, to Elizabeth Moon from 1989 to 2011, and to Kim Hasse from 2014 until his death in 2023.
Did Kim Hasse inherit Gordon Lightfoot’s estate?
That is not public. Estate arrangements in Ontario are not published in any form that would show who received what, and Lightfoot had six children. Nobody writing online knows how his estate was divided.
How old is Kim Hasse?
Her date of birth is not confirmed by any reliable source. Sites publishing a specific date are not citing a record, so none is given here.
Is Kim Hasse on social media?
She has no verified public accounts. She has kept a private life throughout and has given no interviews about her finances.
Conclusion
Kim Hasse worked in film and television for more than twenty years, mostly as a stand-in, and married Gordon Lightfoot on 19 December 2014. She was his wife for eight years until his death in May 2023. That is the documented record, and it is a perfectly good one.
What it is not is a Hollywood acting career, and it is not evidence of a ten-million-dollar fortune. Both of those were invented by sites copying one another. When something verifiable emerges, this page will be updated.
