3 December 2020 Ann Curry People close to me called me ‘Curry in a Hurry.’ I was moving through life at 100 miles an hour trying to further my career and be a great mom and make everyone happy.
3 December 2020 Amanda Peet Well, my mom is single and we’ve both been single at the same time over the last ten years, so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane’s.
3 December 2020 Paris Hilton My mom decorated with lots of antiques. I never liked it when I was a little girl – I wanted to live in a modern house. But now I love it.
3 December 2020 Fergie Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me, read with me, read with me. It was wonderful.
3 December 2020 Selma Blair It’s fun to play mom. Last I knew I was playing a 17-year-old who graduated.
3 December 2020 Vanessa Carlton My mom would give me a piece to play, but I wouldn’t do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So, I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years, then it just started soaking in.
3 December 2020 Dakota Fanning I’ve always wanted to be an actress, ever since I was a little girl. I always played the mom and I played my sister as the daughter. I wanted to be an actress on television and movies instead of just around the house.
3 December 2020 Jessica Chastain I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, ‘No, you just have anxiety.’
3 December 2020 Mary Steenburgen I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from.
3 December 2020 Kristen Wiig I like to write and draw and paint, and my mom’s an artist, so I think I get caught up in thinking, ‘I’m afraid it’s gonna be bad,’ and it’s hard for me to start sometimes.
3 December 2020 Vanessa Carlton But my mom was a pianist, and she taught piano out of her house. I was just so excited, being a little kid and having all these other kids come to my house twice a week. I thought it was a big party.
3 December 2020 Eminem I’d go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
3 December 2020 Micky Dolenz My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.
3 December 2020 Alicia Sacramone I had ridiculous amounts of energy. Mom’s like, you’re driving me crazy – do you want to try gymnastics? From the moment I started it, I loved it and it kind of was like storybook from there.
3 December 2020 Pauly Shore My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that’s where I started, that’s where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
3 December 2020 Emmanuelle Chriqui When I look up and see a star, I know my mom is there. She’s with me all the time. It’s a powerful connection.
3 December 2020 Jami Gertz I also think a Hot Mom is someone who can connect with what’s current in her kids’ world.
3 December 2020 Loni Anderson My memory of my mom is a wine glass in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She was a runway fashion model, and she was quite a glamorous woman.
3 December 2020 Jodi Picoult Many of my books come from what if questions that I can’t answer, things that I’m worried about as either a woman, a wife, a mom, an American.
3 December 2020 Jenna Fischer I’ve had Susan Sarandon play my mom, and now Lesley Ann Warren has played my mom, so if I could have Debra Winger play my mom, then I would have the trifecta of my favorite actresses playing my mother.
3 December 2020 Zayn Malik Our parents are obviously proud, but they’re still trying to get used to the fact that we’re in a band. I have a feeling my mom would actually like One Direction if I wasn’t in it!
3 December 2020 Rainn Wilson My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays.
3 December 2020 Ben Affleck A friend of my mom’s was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.
