Don’t forget! Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 11th. Afterall, we inherited half of our genetic material from this woman. She probably made your bed and taught you how to boil water. If you are lucky, she taught you about the birds and the bees and how to open a beer bottle with your teeth. Maybe you have a love-hate relationship with her. Maybe she is your best friend.

Hollywood mothers are under more scrutiny than yours or mine. They and their children are approached by strangers on a regular basis and they often struggle with whether or not to encourage their kids to go into “the family business”. The offspring of famous mothers struggle with this too, of course. We love it when children follow in their famous mothers footsteps. One more person whose life we can follow! This lightbox celebrates mothers in the public eye. How are you going to celebrate your mother this year, whether or not she is in your life?
