"Believe me, these kids would love nothing more than for me to be gone every night and all weekend. It would be their dream come true! Not going to happen." So she does theater only in summer. Her three older kids with husband sculptor Donald Gummer, however, are in their 20s and already making their own forays into show biz. Son Henry will appear in Lying with Chloe Sevigny, and daughter Mamie...
