Yep and she was AWFUL!!!!!! Not remotely believable as TM's mom at all. DPB has a history of bad casting when it comes to mothers.

Slight correction here. John Hillerman DID win (best supporting actor) in 1987, after being nominated the previous 3 consecutive years. So Selleck won once (in 1984) and so did Hillerman.

Have to say I felt Gwen Verdon was the right fit for T.S./T.M. Their scenes together were always credible and touching. She had a Hollywood acting career during its golden era. Apparently during that era she had an active role in teaching Jane Russell & Marilyn Monroe to dance.

She would have been considered a "get" at the time and sometimes that's all it takes.
