Their names and faces are emblazoned across marquees and magazines - Susan Sarandon, Madonna, Melanie Griffith, Michelle Pfeiffer - and yet these famous women are not mere icons. They are flesh and blood, heart and soul, and mothers and daughters. This remarkable collection of photographs and comments offers inspirational, candid portraits of more than 50 acclaimed actresses, directors, producers, and performers, each one posing with her mother or daughter.
From Candice Bergen to Jennifer Lopez, the women in this book bring a wide range of perspectives to the universal theme of motherhood. Introduced by actress Carrie Fisher (who poses with her mother, Debbie Reynolds, and her daughter, Billie), and accompanied by each subject's own words, Joyce Ostin's intimate photographs are a testament to the wonder and power of the mother-daughter bond, and make this book an ideal gift for women of any age.
A portion of the proceeds are going to the breast and ovarian cancer research.
