The Hollywood Reporter recently gathered Emmy Award nominees Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Christina Applegate, Jane Krakowski, Mary-Louise Parker, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus to discuss the entertainment business. Surprisingly, the conversation turned to Mother Jones:
For the record, Mother Jones doesn’t have an age limit for our cover girls.
On the other hand, we do have strict accuracy requirements, and it’s a pretty sure bet that our team of fact checkers would catch a discrepancy like casting Amy Poehler to play Rachel McAdams’ mom (she’s only 8 years older) or Sarah Silverman to parent Jonah Hill (a 13 year difference). Then again, this is the same Hollywood that thought we’d buy Winona Ryder as Zachary Quinto’s Star Trek mom—she would have been a mother at the age of six.
