Who People Want To Play Their Mom In A Movie
With Mother’s Day coming up, the question is simple, given the choice, who would you want to play your mom in a movie about you? That’s what came up this morning on The Mike & Carla Morning Show this morning.
It was quite the conversation and quite a few different names popped up. Listeners texting in and calling in with ideas of who they would want to play their mom. And also why! That had a lot to do with the answers The M&C Morning Show got this morning.
Who Would Play Your Mom In A Movie About You
Now it should be said that Mike O’Brian had to be reminded that this would be an actress playing your MOM! So, he’s suggestion of Selma Hayek was a reach when he suggested it. Not too mention it would be hard to sell the fact that she is a few years younger than Mike.
According to a recent article by SWNS, they mention a poll done by Groupon It was no surprise that Academy Award winner Meryl Streep was the #1 choice! Sally Field and Julia Roberts were also mentioned following Streep. Although Carla Rea was okay with the multi-award winning actress playing her mother, Mike not so much.
But when one listener suggested Kathy Bates, Mike kind of thought, not a bad choice. So, think about it…give the choice, they’re making a movie about you, who indeed would play the part of your mom?
Olympia Dukakis’ name popped up, Doris Roberts’ name also came up. She was the “mom” on “Everyone Loves Raymond”. Even Bette Midler’s name came up. Hmmm, once you think about it, there are probably quite a few.
But do yourself a favor, take a couple of minutes, listen to the segment, then let us know. Have no doubt you have someone in mind. Oh, and Happy Mother’s Day!
