| Albert Brooks | asked Nancy Reagan (who used to act under the name 'Davis, Nancy' ) to play the part of his mother Nancy really wanted to come out of acting retirement to play the role but declined because she couldn't bear to be away from husband and former president 'Reagan, Ronald' , suffering from Alzheimer's disease Also on Brooks' list of former actresses to play his mother was 'Day, Doris' , but she showed no interest in coming out of acting retirement Brooks is an old friend of actress/writer | |
