OUR FAVORITE TELEVISION MOMS SHARE THEIR FAMILY CELEBRATIONS AND THOUGHTS ON MOTHERHOOD
MOTHER'S DAY Memories

Marion Ross

"I was a single, divorced mother raising two kids by myself. It was tough," Marion, 95, with son Jim Meskimen, admits to Closer. She celebrates most Mother's Days with her family, but 2007 was particularly unique. "Florence Henderson and I were honored to become the godmothers of the Emerald Princess cruise ship," she recalls. "We christened the ship along with our TV daughters, Erin Moran and Susan Olsen."

“My children and their happiness have always been my greatest concern,” said the late actress, who raised four kids, including daughter Barbara Chase, while starring on The Brady Bunch. My children have all turned out to be wonderful adults, so must have done a few things right!”
