Mary Steenburgen
Another famous face from Elf, Mary Steenburgen, played Emily Hobbs, Buddy’s adopted mother. She’s appeared in a wealth of successful movies since then, including Book Club, The Help, and Nightmare Alley. If that wasn’t enough fame, her husband is actor Ted Danson. Now that’s what I call a famous family!
Steenburgen is also set to reprise her role from Book Club in the 2023 sequel, titled Book Club 2 – The Next Chapter. Also, Steenburgen has had a very successful TV career with appearances on Grace and Frankie; Orange is the New Black, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. Is there anything that she can’t do?!
