Line 171:
* George Sampson, the winner of ''[[Britain's Got Talent|Britains Got Talent]]'' in 2008, should have had a very promising career after his victory in the show. Unfortunately, his career was run into the ground in less than a year, in no small part due to his obnoxious and extremely demanding mother, who was largely responsible for Simon Cowell's company ditching Sampson after they became sick of her. Sampson is making a rebound, however, as he has starred in a recent film, ''Street Dance''.
* Rose Hovick, mother of burlesque star Gypsy Rose Lee and actress June Havoc. She became legendary for this trope following Gypsy's 1957 autobiography and the subsequent musical adaptation ''[[Gypsy (theatre)|Gypsy]]'' as mentioned above.
* [[Brooke Shields]]' mother Teri was infamous for this well into her daughter's 20s. For example: when Brooke joined the [[Princeton Triangle Club]] (a musical theatre troupe) during her freshman year at [[Ivy League|Princeton University]] and earned a small part in their annual revue, TerriTeri Shields swept in and tried to wrest control of the production from the club and its hand-picked team of professionals. The Triangle Club fought her to a standstill, but still had to cope with her attempts to direct publicity and make it appear that the production was essentially ''The Brooke Shields Show''.
