Mira Sorvino on being a working mom
Actress and mother of two, Mira Sorvino knows all about trying to juggle a career while being there for her kids. But she makes it work. Mira, 41, who recently starred on NBC’s The Last Templar said she could easily relate to her character, Tess Chaykin.
Mira explains:“I think I find in my own life, it’s a terrible conflict, when you have children, to leave them for any length of time to go to work,” I never actually leave my children…They always come with me.”
She adds, “But I still despair at walking away from them for a long day of work. I try and make their lives as educational and fun and as close to me as possible whenever I’m working. So it’s a real balancing act.”
Mira has a four-year-old daughter, Mattea Angel, and a two-and-a-half-year-old son, Johnny Christopher King, with her husband, Christopher Backus.
