Yes, it’s one of those characters who doesn’t have a first name, but it’s not because Adriana’s mom doesn’t have much to do in Best Women. In fact, if there is any character that is bound to steal every single scene she is in, it’s Adriana’s mom. Which means that the person who portrays Adriana’s mom must be a natural scene-stealer.

Have you seen the short-lived show Wonderfalls? If not, you are very bad. Go out and buy it now. Don’t keep reading. Go right now. You have missed the fuck out. Not only was the show brilliant and gloriously whimsical, but it featured a constant string of scene-stealing by the show’s matriarch, Diana Scarwid.

The perfect mesh between a doting mother and a self-absorbed party girl, Adriana’s mother is a mesh of characteristics few actresses have the talent to master. Not only would Diana Scarwid own this role, she would create uncontrollable laughter that would likely lead to the peeing of pants, resulting in a messy, but highly enjoyable movie-watching experience.
