Award-winning actress Barbara Hershey plays the role of Natalie Portman's deranged and overbearing "mommy" in
Black Swan. The 62-year-old gave a "riveting" performance and made audiences shudder when, with clenched teeth, she asks Portman: "What happened to my sweet girl?" Hershey is perverse in her duties as mommy dearest—even undressing her adult daughter as a
means of controlling her.
