Actress Octavia Spencer, who lost her mother Dellsena when
she was 18, says she is still her biggest inspiration.
"The woman who has
inspired the most is my mother. I am a product of her disadvantages in life, and
she tried to make sure that we took advantage of all of the opportunities that
were afforded to us," people.com quoted Spencer as saying.
The actress
says her mother taught her to be practical, grounded and hardworking from an
early age.
She said: "We had more than she did, and a lot less than a lot
of people, even to this day. So she is the one woman that I credit everything
to."
