Gretchen Mol's Special On-set Visitor!

Steve Sands/Bauer Griffin

On a break from filming Life on Mars last Thursday, Gretchen Mol got in a snuggle and a short walk with son Ptolemy John, who will celebrate his first birthday next week. Dad is director Tod ‘Kip’ Williams.

In Life on Mars, a police drama, the main character is hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. Gretchen, 35, plays a 70s police officer on the series. It will premiere in October on ABC.

Awww, what a wee cutie!

I’m intrigued to see the US remake, because I love the original Life on Mars.

how would you pronounce his name?

KMB:
I had a friend whose last name was Ptolemy and the ‘P’ was silent. So it sounded like Tall-e-Me.

Oh no ! Not another UK remake. I am soo glad that the US version of footballers wives failed. I dunno, I’ve not enjoyed the idea of the remakes especially after they butchered coupling.

Aya I agree, these remakes never work (at least for me). And I don’t get why they do it in the first place, since the original show was done in English anyway and it’s only a few years old.
