3 December 2020 Tom Vilsack President Obama’s fight for rural America is personal. He was raised by a single mom and grandparents from Kansas. He hails from a farming state, Illinois.
3 December 2020 Jon Hamm For a kid who’s lost his mom and all the rage and grief that no one was able to talk out of me, football was a very therapeutic sport. Very.
3 December 2020 Mia Hamm I make a lot of mistakes, too, and I’m constantly re-evaluating how I’m doing things and trying to be better every day, whether it’s as a mom or taking care of myself.
3 December 2020 Jennie Garth My mom really instilled in me that I’m beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls.
3 December 2020 Rita Ora I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.
3 December 2020 Zoe Kazan My hero is Michelle Williams, who I grew close to when we did ‘Meek’s Cutoff.’ She’s an extraordinary actor and mom.
3 December 2020 Harvey Weinstein I must admit, even though I’m the product of two Jewish parents, I think the Irish temper got in there somewhere, so I’m going to check Mom’s genealogy.
3 December 2020 Marla Sokoloff Cancer has been unfortunately in my life. My mom’s best friend is kicking ass in her battle with breast cancer. Both of my grandmas had cancer. I recently lost a friend to cancer.
3 December 2020 Tori Spelling I am proud of my kids, but I also want to make my mom proud of me. I’m still a momma’s girl at the heart of the situation.
3 December 2020 Michael Phelps Even in high school, I’d tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn’t too happy. She’d say, ‘Think about this.’ And I’d always end up getting back in the pool.
3 December 2020 Ashley Tisdale Once in high school, I completely over plucked my left eyebrow all the way up to where you’re not supposed to. I had no idea what I was doing and it looked terrible! My mom was like ‘What did you do to yourself?’ I was so embarrassed.
3 December 2020 Jasmine Tookes I always had an interest in fashion because my mom is a celebrity fashion stylist. I grew up being on set or in showrooms.
3 December 2020 Katherine Heigl Isn’t it so weird the day you wake up and you’re just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.
3 December 2020 Andrew Shue With my new venture, Club Mom, we want to empower moms to feel their value and also build their collective power to make their lives better and easier. We want to bring them together as a community to share experiences and information.
3 December 2020 Diablo Cody I just go about my life. I’m a mom, I drive an SUV, I go to the grocery store every day. I’m definitely not a celebrity. I always say that I’m a celebrity-adjacent.
3 December 2020 Kim Kardashian My mom and I had the same vision, and we want the same things. We would always make a goal list every year.
3 December 2020 Joe Theismann When I can 10 or 11, my mom was the one out there catching passes for me. She was my prime receiver.

3 December 2020 Ian Harding My mom is in the navy and my dad works for the army, but I never called them ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ or anything like that, and we never really moved around a lot because both my parents were stationed in D.C.
3 December 2020 Padma Lakshmi I’m an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other.
3 December 2020 Kate Hudson I auditioned on my own. I tried to make a mark for myself without anybody’s help, not even Mom’s.
3 December 2020 Brittany Murphy I always wanted to be a young mom, but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem – take advantage of that.
3 December 2020 Hilary Duff My mom always says, ‘If you don’t believe in something, you’ll lose yourself completely.’
