Elizabeth Reaser says she has ‘good baby mojo.'
In the Twilight movies, Elizabeth Reaser plays matriarch to a family of perpetually teenage vampires. In Young Adult, she’s a rocking new mom. She may not be a mother herself in real life, but the Michigan native has had plenty of experience around youngsters as an actress and aunt to four nephews. “When I first started, I was very precious with them, and now I just feel very comfortable when I’m holding a baby,” says Reaser, 36. “I’ve been lucky in that they don’t cry. I’ve had some good baby mojo.”
Mitchell
Former Lost and V star Elizabeth Mitchell has an emotional role in the indie film Answers to Nothing, but her home life with 6-year-old son C.J. offers endless laughs. So she leaves her role’s negative energy on the set. “As a mom, because it is my job to be the adult in the situation, to get to go to work and be a kid is kind of fun,” says Mitchell, 41. “I can throw a temper tantrum and people will pay me for it — on camera.”
