这段婚姻同时也经历了帕特里克的东山再起，见证了他从努力奋斗的80年代浪漫喜剧演员成功转型电视明星，出演绵延了10年的ABC电视台热播医务肥皂剧《实习医生格蕾》。

She'd also backed his interest in race-car driving, which can consume time and money as quicklyas a supercar burns through fuel. "She was the one to encourage me to go and drive," Dempseytold People in 2007.

德姆西的妻子还很支持他的赛车爱好，虽然赛车消耗时间和金钱的速度快得如同超级跑车的耗油一般。德姆西在2007年对《人物》表示：“她是鼓励我投身赛车运动的那个人。”

In fact, Dempsey was away in Florida racing at the 24 Hours of Daytona endurance event whenFink filed divorce papers.

事实上，当芬克提交离婚文件时，德姆西正远在佛罗里达州参加代托纳24小时耐力赛(24 Hoursof Daytona)。
