With a foreword written by Debbie Reynolds and her daughter
Carrie Fisher, and sidebar essays by Eva Marie Saint,
Illeana Douglas, Jane Powell, Sam Robards, and Tippi Hedren,
this book is packed with an incredible collection of
photographs and film stills. Mom in the Movies makes
a great gift for any mom—and for anyone with a mother who
oughta be in pictures
From the cozy All-American mom
to the terrifying Mommie Dearest or the protective
Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, when it comes to mothers
on the silver screen, it takes all kinds.

Classic Movies and film historian Richard Corliss
presents Mom in the Movies, a definitive, fully
illustrated book that shares the many ways Hollywood has
celebrated, vilified and otherwise memorialized dear old
Mom.
Here, you will meet the Criminal Moms, like
Shelley Winters in Bloody Mama, and the eccentric
Showbiz Moms, including those from Gypsy and
Postcards from the Edge. You’ll also find Great
American Moms, as warm and nourishing as apple pie, in
movies such as I Remember Mama and Places in the
Heart, along with Surrogate Moms, like Ginger Rogers in
Bachelor Mother, Rosalind Russell in Auntie Mame,
Dianne Wiest in Edward Scissorhands and Sandra
Bullock in The Blind Side. And who can forget the
baddest mothers of all? No book on movie moms would be
complete without Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian
Candidate
