Wow! Laura Linney baby… at age 49!
That pregnancy slipped right through the cracks. Maybe that’s why she’s been MIA since the Women in Film’s 2013 Crystal + Lucy Awards in June 2013 (above). Hmmm…

And the baby’s name is… Bennett Armistead Schauer. Fancy! Actually, Laura starred in several episodes of the TV mini-series Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City back in the 90s… Maybe there’s a connection?
This is the first child for The Big C star and her husband, real-estate agent Marc Schauer, who tied the knot in May 2009.
I’m a huge fan of Laura Linney. Loved her in The Truman Show, Love Actually… Congrats to the family!
