Working Mom Julianna Margulies Doesn’t Mind the Long Hours

If timing is everything, Julianna Margulies intends to make the most of hers.

The actress — mom to son Kieran Lindsay, 2, with husband Keith Lieberthaltells the LA Times that when it comes to career, she believes in striking while the iron is hot –  even if it requires 15-hour days on the set of The Good Wife.

“My mom is great,” Margulies, 43, reveals.

“She’ll say, ‘Honey, how long can this go on for? If you’re lucky, three to four years. Then suddenly you won’t have a job and your kid will be sleeping until 10 a.m. Enjoy it now.’”

Her drive and determination to conquer both motherhood and Hollywood was on full display while making the independent film City Island.

First offered the role at four months postpartum, Margulies says she had every intention of taking a one-year maternity leave but was convinced otherwise. If she harbors any regrets, she isn’t showing them.

“It was so fulfilling that it didn’t matter that I would come home from night shoots just as my baby was getting up. My feeling is, so I’ll be tired for a while.”

Caught Caring: Wanda Sykes, 50KShoes and Soles4Souls

When Haiti was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in January, the tiny Caribbean nation suffered a crippling blow.

The push to fulfill the most urgent needs of Haitians — food and water — was immediate, but two months later victims are still going without many of the most basic of necessities, like shoes.

Soles4Souls is leading the effort to fill that void, and it has found allies in Wanda Sykes and 50kShoes.

The mom of 10-month-old twins Olivia Lou and Lucas Claude — known for her comedic flair — was noticeably somber while recently taping a plea for contributions.

“As little as five dollars will provide two people with a pair of shoes,” explained Sykes. “Let’s all come together and do what we can for the people of Haiti.”
