"I was delighted to be cast as his mom," she noted.

"And then Marty Supreme was his next movie that was lined up, and Josh felt like me and Timmy kind of looked alike."

"And he said, 'I know your background, and I know there's a depth to you that I want to extract for this movie. I know you've got that in you.' You have to love a director like that. It's always the good ones," The Christmas Setup actress added.
