When she was three years old, Denise and her family moved to Los Angeles from New York, where her father Gene Di Novi - a musician - made music for the TV shows of Danny Thomas, Dick Van Dyke and Andy Griffith. Prior to that, Gene worked with Doris Day, Lena Horne and Peggy Lee. In the late 1960s, the family moved again, this time to Toronto in Canada, and while there Denise's mother, Patricia, died of cancer. She has two sons, Mac and Nicholas, and she is married to film director Christopher Taylor.
