I admit, I've always had a bit of a thing for Mary-Louise Parker ever since I saw her in
Fried Green Tomatoes. Mary-Louise
seemed quirky and eccentric yet strong, just the sort of person I'd be
if I was shorter and a brunette. And famous. (And buff! Have you seen
her lately? She does "over-40" proud.) And
Ada Calhoun's recent interview with Mary-Louise
does not disappoint; in fact, the actress seems to be living an idyllic
life with her three-year-old son, playing the urban mom while
introducing him to the joys of art through frequent museum trips and
walks through the park while at the same time trying to provide him with balance
and down-time. In short, Mary-Louise Parker seems to be doing
what we all aspire to: enjoying our children, teaching them about the
things we feel are important in life, while at the same time
remaining true to ourselves.
