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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mother was the worst kind of stage mother. She would make me and my younger sister and brother little duckling costumes and put us in kiddie shows.
Of all the roles I've played, none has been as fulfilling as being a mother.
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.
I never turned down a mother role.
It's my favorite role - being a mom.
These same people seem to forget that mother also took a lot of chances with the type of roles she played.
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
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.
Growing up my mother played Sarah Vaughan and Nat Cole in the house regularly.
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.
