I was thinking about changing her eyebrows to look like Audrey’s, but she just looked so pretty that we left her natural eyebrow shape. So we kept the cat eye without the really heavy, dark eye shadow. We put a little less eyeshadow just because Mattea is younger and she looked so sweet and beautiful. I found a necklace that could kind of be used as the rhinestone hairpiece, and then we kind of tried to copy the makeup look pretty much from Audrey. I’m really terrible at hair, so it was touch and go for a while whether she would even let me do it! But I had to use pieces underneath to puff up her hair and tease and spray it. One day we did three of them, the three younger ones, and the next day we did Mattea’s because hers is much more complicated in terms of hair and makeup, and I had to do it. How did get the look together for your daughter’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s poster? We’ve been showing them classic movies at night and I was like, “What if we found some iconic images you guys could recreate because you remind us of them a little bit?” They were all really interested in it, it was not hard to convince them at all. They have to use them all day long for school. I think a lot of things that spark them are connected to images or social media, or using computers. ![]() The kids were just really bored and kind of depressed, as I think most kids are right now, because they don’t get to see their friends. Where did you get the idea to have your kids recreate classic movie posters? I don’t know if it keeps me grounded, but it keeps me busy. My daughter is a pescatarian, the other three children are omnivores, and my husband and I are vegetarian. The morning is taken up with breakfast, and we have four dogs and are fostering a litter of abandoned cats, so it’s pretty crazy around here, feeding everybody. Then there was a bagel with cream cheese for Holden, and Lucia had cereal. My one son loves these breakfast quesadillas I make where you crack an egg over a tortilla and swirl the eggs around so it coats it, and you add cheese and onions and avocado. ![]() Today, my daughter, Mattea-she’s a fantastic baker-wanted a piece of leftover birthday cake that she made for our other daughter, Lucia. Once it’s time to wake them all up, we go downstairs and we start making breakfast. In the morning, I tend to wake up earlier than the kids do, around 6:30 or 7, and then I lie in bed for a while and maybe read. The weekend at least takes away the stress of schooling, although then there’s more of a need to provide entertainment for everybody 24/7. We can’t stay on the ball somehow with the schedule of the different teacher meetings. I have four kids and they have their Zoom classes. Have you developed a daily routine in quarantine? Here, Sorvino explains the genesis of the poster reenactment idea, and weighs the chances of whether or not her daughters might try to recreate the poster for Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion for their next act. Now that the majority of the United States is on lockdown, seeing those movies in a theater isn’t really an option, so the Oscar-winning actress has been screening them for her kids at home in California, in between promoting a handful of projects available on streaming platforms-including Hollywood, in which she plays a struggling blonde bombshell akin to Lana Turner, and a forthcoming indie called Waterlily Jaguar, about a writer who obsesses over the ancient remains of a woman found in the La Brea tar pits. Perhaps it was her appearance in Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood-which recreates the scandals and secrets of the studio system and its stars in the ’40s and ’50s-that sparked the idea, but she and her family have found a unique, entertaining way to pass the time in quarantine: recreating classic movie posters, from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Rebel Without a Cause, with the kids starring as the iconic actors who appeared in the original films. She and her husband, Chris Backus, are both actors, and it seems as if their four children-Mattea, Johnny, Holden, and Lucia-have been bitten by the show business bug, too, just not in the way you might think. Consider it a grab bag of ideas for how to shake up your own quarantine routine.Ī love for film runs in Mira Sorvino‘s family.
