Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, May 10 (UPI) -- Actress Kathleen Turner's role in the U.S. film "Serial Mom" has been named one of the worst film mothers in history.
The Los Angeles Times Sunday cited the serial killer mother featured in the 1994 dark comedy on its list of worst cinematic mother figures of all time, along with Piper Laurie's character who abuses and stabs her daughter in the 1976 horror film "Carrie."
Other notable matriarchs on the Mother's Day list include the deceased mother of killer Norman Bates in the classic horror film "Psycho," as well as actress Mary Tyler Moore's emotionally-withdrawn character from "Ordinary People."
Eleanor Iselin of "The Manchurian Candidate" also earned a spot on the cinematic list for turning her own son into a brainwashed killer in the 1962 film.
Meanwhile, the alien queen from the 1986 action flick "Aliens" nabbed a spot on the worst mothers list as did actress Jennifer Coolidge in "American Pie," whose character sleeps with one of her son's friends.
The Times also chose actress Faye Dunaway's portrayal of Joan Collins in "Mommie Dearest" while Ann Ramsey won two spots with her troubling mother roles in "Throw Momma From the Train" and "Goonies."
