“My mom had an audition for a commercial when I was about two and a half, and I ran in crying and interrupted her. They thought I was cute so they offered me a commercial role. My mom was skeptical and a bit nervous about the child actor thing, but I was extremely bossy and convinced them I wanted to try it.” TryingChildrenTwoWantedActorsBitsHalfRolesCryMomMy MomConvincedNervousRanCuteAuditionsSkepticalInterruptedBossyChild Actors Author:Mae Whitman
“Fifteen years ago I knew I had to settle into being a mom and give them a normal life, which I never had. I was always traveling. I had tours. I wanted my kids to settle down, and we kind of did it together.... It was a bumpy transition. There was no director telling me what to do. No script, but I really enjoyed it. I even became president of the PTA. Doing the laundry was a meditative experience. Now, when I start to get nervous and stressed, I go in and start to fold towels.” GivingYearsKindKidsWantedTogetherPresidentMomDirectorsNormalYears AgoDown AndScriptsNervousEnjoyedSettlingTransitionFifteenFoldsStressedBeing A MomNormal LifeLaundrySettling DownFifteen YearsTowelsPta Author:Pia Zadora
“My first big acting performance was in the Marilyn Monroe biography piece, and it required frontal nudity. I talked to Mira Sorvino, my co-star, about how nervous I was because I didn't know how my mom would react. She said, 'Can I be completely honest with you? I've seen your mom in interviews, and she seems pretty screwed up. I don't think there's much you could do to shock a broad like that.' And from that moment on it was big nipples to the wind!” ThinkingKnowsFirstsSaidMomentsBigsSeemsStarsActingKnow HowPiecesHonestWindMomPerformancesMy MomActressesNakedNervousCinemaInterviewsShockThat MomentBroadsBiographiesShockingYour MomNudityScrewed UpNipples Author:Ashley Judd
“I've never stolen anything. Well, that's not entirely true. I once accidentally took a gift card from a store in a mall. I was carrying it around to show my mom because I thought it was funny, and I forgot to show it to her and left the store carrying it. I had a complete nervous breakdown, like, 20 minutes later and went back to the store in tears. So that's where I stand in terms of my ability to steal something.” WellsShowsLeftTermAbilityMinutesTearsMomMy MomStoresStealingCardsNervousStolenBreakdownMallsNervous Breakdown Author:Zoe Kazan
