Let me tell you, Felicity Huffman isn’t your typical Hollywood star. Sure, she’s no stranger to the spotlight, but when it comes to balancing her work and family life, she’s as real as it gets. In a candid chat with Closer at the Emily’s List Pre-Oscars Brunch and Panel Discussion in LA, Felicity admitted that life isn’t always picture-perfect. “I’m not the person who gets it all right,” she said with a laugh. “I drop things, make mistakes, and, honestly, I just mess up all the time.” And that’s what makes her so relatable. She doesn’t claim to have it all figured out — and that’s what makes her story so compelling.
Support System: Husband William H. Macy
Felicity, now 56, isn’t going it alone. She’s got the ultimate partner in crime: her husband and occasional co-star, William H. Macy. The two have been navigating parenthood together for years, raising their daughters, Sofia, 18, and Georgia, 16. When asked about her secret weapon, Felicity gushed, “My husband cherishes me. I don’t know why, but there’s no accounting for taste. That man has my back no matter what.” William’s unwavering support has been a constant source of strength for Felicity, helping her through the ups and downs of both career and family life.
From Screen to Reality: Drawing from Personal Experience
Felicity took her real-life experiences and poured them into her role in the upcoming film Otherhood, where she stars alongside Patricia Arquette and Angela Bassett. “Once you’ve lived something, it becomes part of who you are,” Felicity explained. “You can’t help but draw from it. Even if you try to block it out, it’s already woven into the fabric of your being.” This authenticity shines through in her performances, making her one of the most respected actresses in Hollywood today.

Parenting Advice: Lessons from Siblings
When it comes to parenting advice, Felicity isn’t shy about where she gets her wisdom. She credits her seven siblings for teaching her everything she knows about unconditional love and support. “I’ve been around teenage girls my whole life,” she shared. “The highs and lows, the intense hormones — it doesn’t phase me. I get it. That’s why D.H. Lawrence called them little volcanoes. They’re unpredictable, but that’s what makes them so beautiful.”
Her close-knit family has been her greatest teacher, helping her navigate the challenges of raising two daughters. “My siblings and I are incredibly close. They’ve shown me what it means to be there for someone no matter what. That kind of love is priceless,” she added with a smile.
Despite her wealth of experience, Felicity is quick to admit that she doesn’t have all the answers. When asked if she’d give advice to her former Desperate Housewives co-star Eva Longoria, she laughed, “That girl doesn’t need advice from me! She’s got it all figured out.”
