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, Teri 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'', as well as installing armed guards in the theatre.
