In honor of Mother's Day, I thought it would be fun to look at my five favorite mother-daughter pairs in Hollywood. Below I have ranked the best mother-daughter pairs at the movies:
5. Diane Ladd and Laura Dern
Laura finally started to catch up with mama Diane at the Oscars this past year. The Rambling Rose costars have had a long history with Oscar, with Ladd nominated three times versus Dern's two nominations. Both are brilliant performers who also costarred on HBO's Enlightened.
4. Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher
Debbie was one of the biggest stars of the 1950's, headlining dozens of romantic comedies, and is still celebrated today (she recently won the SAG Life Achievement Award), while Carrie Fisher would have enormous success in front of the screen in the Star Wars films (she'll be in Episode 7 later this year) and behind the screen as a comedian and screenwriter.
3. Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson
Goldie Hawn is perfect, and I've always LOVED these two together whenever they do interviews or talks on the red carpet. Kate hasn't had the career her mom has, but she's always insanely fun and I constantly wish she'd pull her mom out of retirement for some sort of mother-daughter comedy (who wouldn't want that?).
2. Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli
Both legends in their own-right, two of Classic Hollywood's biggest stars both won Oscars (Judy a juvenile award, while Liza emerged victorious with Cabaret), and both became immortal for their singing prowess and stage presence.
1. Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtis
Janet's a Hollywood icon, starring in three of the best films ever made (Touch of Evil, Psycho, and The Manchurian Candidate) while Jamie Lee Curtis has headlined films as diverse as Halloween, True Lies, and Freaky Friday. Together they're not just Scream Queens of different generations-they're my favorite mother-daughter pair in Hollywood.
Those are my favorites-how about yours? Who else would you add to this list? Share in the comments! And Happy Mother's Day!
