Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Men are what their mothers made them.” The same goes for women, who typically grow up to become similar to their mothers. There’s something about a mother’s love and care that can’t help but shape us into unique personalities.

Marie Curie, one of the most important women scientists of the 20th century, worked with radium and radioactivity and won two Nobel prizes for her work in 1903 and 1911. Her daughter, Irene Joliot-Curie worked with her mother in the radiography corps. In 1935 Irene won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with her husband for their discovery of new radioactive isotopes prepared artificially.

Princess Diana and Prince William
According to Vanity Fair’s Christopher Anderson in 2003, as a young boy, William was his mother’s closest confidant, “soul mate” and “chief comforter,”. Anderson details an incident when 8-year-old William slips tissues under a bathroom door to his crying mother after she quarreled with Charles at Highgrove, the royal retreat in Gloucestershire.

The book reveals the family’s graceful acceptance of her son and celebrated writer Vikram Seth’s bi-sexual orientation.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Blythe Danner
Paltrow has been a household name since the 90s, but her mother, Blythe Danner, is also a reputable actress. Blythe is best known for her recent roles in Meet The Parents and its sequels. However, Danner’s first big role was playing Thomas Jefferson’s wife in the classic 1776. Paltrow is known for her dedication to fitness and dietary health.

In another set, she channels her inner boss lady in a sleek black pantsuit. A third look features Deepika in a see-through maxi dress, where she is captured twirling and lost in thought. For her final look, she dons a black, see-through bodycon dress, posing alongside her husband Ranveer in a series of intimate and stylish shots. The couple captioned their post with a few simple emojis, but that was enough to ignite a flurry of reactions from fans.

Deepika and Ranveer first announced their pregnancy on February 29, just before attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash in Jamnagar. Their announcement featured a postcard with the word “September” and adorable drawings of baby accessories. Following the news, Deepika faced criticism and accusations of faking her baby bump.
