These same people seem to forget that mother also took a lot of chances with the type of roles she played.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
Usually, the roles that you get offered that are the mom roles are very much the mom role.
I find it very difficult to be two different characters at the same time - actress and mother.
When anyone plays a mother on film, there is a whole raft of judgment in that a mother is a particular archetype or that every mother is the same. That's complete rubbish.
Mother was so good that I was defeated even before I started to be an actress. I thought I could never make it unless I spent years in the Actors Studios, went on the blacklist and lived in New York, as she did.
For as long as I've been acting, I have been very lucky to be paired with really great actresses playing my mom.
Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.
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.
I took the role of Rochelle in 'Everybody Hates Chris,' and that was it. I was going to play mother roles all the time. Once you do one mother role, it's always a trickle down effect.
A lot of the actors I knew threw in the towel when they became mothers. I couldn't do that financially, and I didn't want to - but I was knackered all the time.
