Richard Norton’s wife was Australian actress and model Judy Green. They married in 1993 and remained together until his death in March 2025. Green publicly announced his death and became a central voice in the tributes that followed. Interest in their marriage returned in October 2026 after a Victorian coroner linked the actor’s death to complications following injections of unapproved peptides.
Who Is Richard Norton’s Wife Judy Green?
Judy Green has her own screen career, with credits including Mr. Nice Guy, Raiders of the Sun and The New Adventures of Robin Hood. Her professional identity therefore predates the recent headlines about her husband’s death.
She is sometimes described in coverage as Judy Norton, reflecting her married name. That should not lead to confusion with the American actress Judy Norton, known for playing Mary Ellen Walton in The Waltons. They are different people.
Reliable biographical material identifies Green as an actress and model, but it does not provide a complete current account of her work, private finances or daily life. Those gaps do not need to be filled with estimates.
When Did Richard Norton and Judy Green Marry?
The couple married in 1993. Their relationship lasted more than three decades and continued through Norton’s work in action films, martial arts instruction, stunt performance and fight choreography.
They were associated with the same broad entertainment industry, although their filmographies and professional responsibilities were their own. Appearing in related productions does not by itself establish how they first met.
A verified account of their first meeting or a detailed wedding history was not established in the material reviewed. The confirmed marriage year is more reliable than an invented romantic origin story.
What Was Richard Norton Known For?
Norton was an Australian martial artist, actor and action-film specialist whose career extended across Australian, Hong Kong and American productions. He worked with figures including Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris and Cynthia Rothrock.
His screen appearances and behind-the-scenes work are separate parts of that career. Audiences may recognize him as an action performer, while major productions also employed his expertise to prepare performers and construct fight sequences.
His credits connected him with the Mad Max films and The Suicide Squad, among other projects. This professional history explains the range of tributes after his death, which came from actors, directors and martial arts colleagues.
How Did Judy Green Announce His Death?
Green announced Norton’s death through a deeply personal social media message in March 2025. She described the loss in terms of devastation and the disappearance of the person at the center of her life.
Her announcement was widely reported and prompted condolences from the entertainment and martial arts communities. The response reflected both Norton’s professional standing and the personal relationships he had developed over many years.
At the time, initial reports did not establish a cause of death. That earlier absence of an explanation should not be mistaken for a contradiction of the later coronial investigation, which provided additional information.
What Did the October 2026 Coroner Findings Establish?
Victorian coroner David Ryan found that Norton suffered cardiac arrest after injecting the unapproved peptide products CJC1295 and ipamorelin. Reports on the findings said the products had been prescribed by a doctor.
The findings also addressed his use of amounts exceeding the prescribed dose. Norton died at Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital on March 30, 2025, according to the later reporting of the investigation.
The October 2026 news concerned findings about an earlier death. It should not be written as though Norton had just died or as though the couple’s marriage ended in 2026.
What Was Judy Green’s Role in the Reported Events?
Coverage of the findings described Green being present when Norton became unwell at home and helping in the emergency response. Her account formed part of the explanation of the events preceding his hospital treatment.
Her presence and efforts do not establish responsibility for the products, their prescription or the outcome. The reporting did not identify Green as responsible for her husband’s death.
Accounts of a medical emergency should also not be expanded into speculation about her private decisions, beliefs or current health. The relevant public information concerns what was reported to the investigation and her relationship to Norton.
Did the Findings Change the Rules on Peptides?
The coroner recommended that the Therapeutic Goods Administration review the therapeutic benefits and safety risks of the products and consider additional restrictions. A recommendation is an important development, but it is not automatically a completed regulatory change.
The fact that a doctor prescribed a substance also does not establish that the product had ordinary regulatory approval for the use described. The reporting specifically distinguished prescription from approval.
Those distinctions are relevant to the news update, although they do not change the answer to the family question: Green was Norton’s wife throughout the marriage documented in his public biography.
What Is Known About Their Family Today?
The reliable material reviewed establishes their marriage and Green’s public response to his death. It does not provide a sufficiently clear basis for adding a detailed account of children, inheritance or her present household.
Judy Green is Richard Norton’s widow and a performer in her own right. The latest major development is the October 2026 reporting of the coroner’s findings, while their marriage remains a relationship that began in 1993 and lasted until his death in 2025.
