Babes is director Pamela Adlon’s feature-length directorial debut and the subject matter is one that she is very familiar with. After all, she is the co-creator, writer/director and star of FX’s Better Things a TV show about a single mom who is a … [Read more...]

Don't Tell Mom - Nicole Richie and Simone Joy Jones
