<p>
A cartoon. An undercover witch. Daily chef for a dozen. Humanitarian. Activist.

recognizes mom actors who care (Angelina Jolie and Cynthia Nixon),
mommy inventors (Julie Newmar and Ann Moore), a mother to the world&#39;s
poor (Mother Theresa), mothers of motion picture fiction (Aurora

and WB stations across the country. Victoria Pericon is also the author
