Over the years, Hollywood has shown us some of the best TV moms, who have now become classic characters for their unique portrayal of what it means to be a mother. These 5 moms are tough and no-nonsense as much as they are loving and supportive.
Carol Brady in The Brady Bunch
One of the most famous characters on TV has got to be Carol Brady played by Florence Henderson on The Brady Bunch. Carol is the warm cheerful mother of six children in her blended family, who is actively involved in all her children's lives, supporting them throughout their childhood years.
Lorelai Gilmore in Gilmore Girls
The show Gilmore Girls takes us into the lives of single mother Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) and her daughter Rory Gilmore. Even though the pair have a strong bond and sometimes act like best friends, Lorelai is not afraid to put her child's best interest first, even if at times it may cause a rift beween them.
Marge Simpson from The Simpsons
Marge Simpson has been an iconic character for more than 25 years. Being the centre of both love and sanity, Marge is the rock that holds the Simpson brood together, both children Bart, Lisa, Maggie and husband Homer.
Gloria Pritchett in Modern Family
The tough and outspoken Gloria (Sofia Vergara) is very supportive and fiercely protective of her son Manny's "peculiar" behaviours and goes out of her way to show how special he is. She is never afraid to speak her mind. Vergara often stands up to her family to set right their own prejudices and notions.
Claire Dunphy in Modern Family
As neurotic as Claire (Juile Bowen) is, she always manages to step up when her children Luke, Alex and Haley need her to bail them out of trouble. Organised, efficient and always in pursuit of perfection, Claire often frets over helping her children reach their own potential. Claire is unapologetically on point, both as a stay-at-home mom and as a working mother.
