Balancing your personal life, family and job can be tricky, especially if you’re in Hollywood. But even in the midst of shooting a movie, actress Mira Sorvino makes sure her family knows they come first. The actress told People that she only works on films with short shooting schedules, and often brings her children to set with “quilts and colored Christmas lights and art supplies and books to help make it a home away from home.” Sorvino’s three children and husband Christopher Backus not only kept her company on the set of her most recent film, Like Dandelion Dust, but became her inspiration for it. The film tells the story of a woman trying to reclaim the child she gave up for adoption. “I have three beautiful children who I love more than anything else in the whole world, so anything having to do with your children and potentially losing them is very, very personal to me,” said Sorvino. “I didn’t have to do much to get to the emotional place [of my character].”
