Diane Lane because she is beautiful like Emily and a great actress, Jodi Foster would also be great, she is so diverse.

Heather Locklear or Marcia Cross (but can't see how she could pass for Emily's mother)

The role should go to a woman that can be both attractive but also have a less "refined" personality and more believable "bad girl" to her and that is Holly Hunter in all accounts. I think David Clark was the kind, gentle and distinguished parent figure who seems like he could have once been attractive to a woman less stable than he was...a man with a good heart that falls in love with the girl who is troubled because he has the "rescuer" type personality. This will visually show case how the real Amanda Clark can has both sides to her as well. It makes the audience still favor David Clark as being the altruistic good guy from the beginning....maybe he fell in love with an emotionally unstable woman when he was young and got her pregnant and wanted to do the right thing by her even though he did not love her as deeply as he loved another woman (Victoria Grayson)....the story can draw all kinds of past and present parallels like with Jack Porter and the fake Amanda and their pregnanc

As soon as they said in the finale her mother was alive I immediately thought of Michelle Pfieffer. I feel validated that she was an option for voting and that she's gotten the most votes!

Shouldn't it not be a big bitch though? it should be a sweet woman who was forced to leave or dissapear off the face of the earth for this long...Jean smart seems to be a sweet role, remember it is the real Amandas mother (the little girl from the beginning). holly hunter would be good, too...
and michelle pfeiffer is just too good for words..ill always love her...she is gorgeous!

Lena Olin should totally portray her mum. She was amazing as Sydney Bristow's mum, Irina Derevko, in Alias. She can totally play a volatile and dangerous person!!!

Definitely Marcia Cross- it would be such a delightful spin to make Emily's mother a green eyed redhead. Plus she would make the character so interesting.

TOP pick :- Andrea Roth (Rescue me) played Dennis Leary's wife (Great with volatile and crazy) was also on Ringer as a crazy mom! Elizabeth Shue might be another one. Marisa Tomei! Tea Leone, Ashley Judd is "Missing" isn't picked up
