Felicity Huffman Balances Work and Motherhood

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Felicity Huffman Balances Work and Motherhood

Felicity Huffman is surprised to find herself the "patron saint of mothers".

She finds herself struggling with it in real life, even as her characters in films and on television do the same.

In her latest movie, "Phoebe in Wonderland," she finds herself in the same position, this time as the mother two a very troubled child who is only at ease when lost in her imagination or acting in the school play.

The movie's writer-director, Daniel Barz, finds Huffman's public candor about her struggles with parenting amazing.

In fact, a monologue for her character about the highs and lows of being a parent came directly out of conversations he had with her.
"Phoebe in Wonderland" premiered at Sundance in 2008 and opens in theaters Friday, March 6, 2009.
