Lorraine Smothers, now known as Lorraine Wallace, is a former professional ballerina who performed with the Washington Ballet during her career in the arts. She is the second wife of journalist Chris Wallace, having married him in 1997 after his previous marriage to Elizabeth Jane Farrell ended in divorce. Born in the United States, she maintained a relatively low public profile focused on her dance work before transitioning to a private life. The couple has resided primarily in the Washington, D.C. area, where Chris Wallace built his career in broadcast journalism. Lorraine has largely stayed out of the spotlight, supporting her husband's professional endeavors without pursuing her own public career in media or entertainment. Little is publicly documented about her early life, family background, or post-dance activities, reflecting her preference for privacy amid her husband's high-visibility profession.
