Conan O'Brien's Parents Pass Away Days Apart
Conan O'Brien is grieving the loss of both his parents, who passed away within three days of each other. His father, Dr. Thomas O'Brien, a renowned physician and early researcher in antimicrobial resistance, died at 95, while his mother, Ruth Reardon O'Brien, an accomplished attorney and one of the first female partners at the Boston law firm Ropes & Gray, died at 92. Conan, reflecting on his father's influence, credited him with his love for comedy, citing his introduction to Charlie Chaplin and Marx Brothers' movies. Thomas and Ruth were married for 66 years and raised six children, including Conan, in Brookline, Massachusetts. A funeral mass for both parents will be held in Boston on December 18. Conan remarked on his father's perpetual curiosity and humor, making him the most interesting person he had ever met.
