Sam's eccentric mother, played by Celia Imrie, lives across the street from her. She is more of a thorn in Sam's side than a source of support. Adlon again drew from her own life when she created the character, revealing, "My own mother lives next door to me; and so, my daughters and she have had an extremely gratifying relationship ...
