Jane Fonda compliments Felicity Huffman’s parenting skills

Felicity Huffman’s role in Georgia Rule as a detached alcoholic mother couldn’t be further from the type of parent she’s like in real life. Felicity has two daughters, Sofia, 6 1/2, and Georgia, 5, with husband William H. Macy, and according to co-star Jane Fonda, the girls are very well-behaved, a testament, she says, to their parents.

I know the two girls. These are really fabulouslywell-adjusted kids. These are not movie-star kids. These are good,solid kids who can tell you they don’t watch television because it willspoil their imagination.

Meanwhile, Felicity concedes it was difficult for her to get into a character who shows little care for her child.

She betrays her daughter and sells her daughter’s well-being for herown addiction and convenience, so that’s not that familiar [to me].She’s tormented and profoundly lonely. I don’t knowwhere I drew on it. You know, the pain everyone’s in all the time.
