Which has always been a weird thing to me.
The guy has had a successful multi-decade career. Do we really think his mom is still a factor in his success, if ever she was?
And it's not unusual for someone to get an initial foot in the door from some sort of contact, including from a family member.
Many people in media have to start in Swift Current or Flin Flon before ever getting a break in the big city. Eric is not a great writer but has the gift of the gab and seems to have a good heart.

I remember there were two Herb Jennifer episodes that were just so good.
The one where Jennifer took swim suit pictures and the photographer took pictures of her changing without her knowing and was threatening to sell them, and Herb came to her rescue.
The other episode where Herb had a health scare, I think it was his heart, and Jennifer was right there to support him when he was terrified of leaving his family.
she was so good in that show.

One of my favourite songs from Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, co-written by Whitlock and Eric Clapton.

He was great in Young Guns, and had a small but memorable spin in the Phantom Menace as well. And he was a great foil in Wall Street where he insulted Gordan Gecko's mother and added to his downfall.

In a career spanning six decades, perhaps his most challenging performance came after he was offered the role of Bernadette, a transgender woman who embarks on an Australian road trip with two drag queens, in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994).

The Hit was my favourite movie by him I think, although his early work, Billy Bud especially was supurb, I lived across the lane from him and Sean Connery when they shared a flat in the early sixties, I was a baby but they was always polite to my mum according to her
