Moms in the Movies
Some memorable mothers have made their marks on the movie screen. This Mother's Day, celebrate the maternal instinct found in the following characters.
Maria Portokalos. At the head of the overbearing yet lovable family in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is this feisty mother (Lainie Kazan), who supports her children with love, advice, and fabulous cooking.
M'Lynn Eatenton. Sally Field earned a Golden Globe nomination for her emotional portrayal of this Southern mama, whose devotion to her grown daughter is a central theme of the beloved film "Steel Magnolias."
Elastigirl. Voiced by Holly Hunter, this flexible crime-fighting mom has to deal with three kids who have superpowers of their own. But villains don't stand a chance against the matriarch of "The Incredibles."
Tanya Anderson. In "Akeelah and the Bee," Angela Bassett plays a widowed mother who isn't very impressed with her daughter's desire to compete in a regional spelling bee. Tanya changes her tune even as
Akeelah begins to lose motivation, and she supports and encourages Akeelah, who goes on to win the National Spelling Bee.
Rebecca Morgan. In the 1972 movie "Sounder," Cicely Tyson plays the mother of a Louisiana family struggling to survive during the Depression. Tyson was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in this
box office hit.
Maria von Trapp. As the von Trapp children's governess and future stepmother, Fraulein Maria (Julie Andrews) offers the young brood a comforting maternal figure and teaches them to sing in "The Sound
of Music."
